Data are presented as numbers (%), means (SDs), or medians [interquartile ranges]. Hypertension was defined as SBP≥140 mmHg, DBP≥90 mmHg, or use of antihypertensive medications. Hyperlipidemia was defined as LDL≥160 or use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. eGFR was calculated using serum concentrations of creatinine and cystatin C measured at baseline using the 2012 CKD-EPI equation. To convert GFR in milliliters per minute to milliliters per second, multiply by 0.01667. To convert cholesterol in milligrams per deciliter to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0259. SBP, systolic BP; DBP, diastolic BP; HMG-CoA, hepatic hydroxymethyl glutaryl–CoA; CKD-EPI, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration; ACR, albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
