Abbreviations: eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; SBP, systolic blood pressure. Model 1 includes adjustment for age and sex. Model 2 includes all variables listed in the left column. Values are expressed as mean (standard error) from a linear regression model. aOverall (left panel) and after further restriction to participants without chronic kidney disease (CKD) or diabetes (right panel). bPhysical activity score ranges from 1 to 20, with a higher score indicating higher physical activity. c P<.05. d P<.001.
