CI, confidence interval; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; OR, odds ratio.

aAbdominal obesity, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and high plasma glucose levels were defined in accordance with the definition of metabolic syndrome for the Japanese population.

bORs were adjusted for age, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and the four metabolic components (abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and high plasma glucose).
