a

Incidence per 1000 person-years.

b

Per 1 U increases in ln FGF23.

c

Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, and race/ethnicity.

d

Model 2: adjusted for covariates in model 1 plus traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors (cigarette smoking, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, prevalent cardiovascular disease) and eGFR.

e

Model 3: adjusted for covariates in models 1 and 2 plus mineral metabolism markers (phosphate, PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, calcium, and albumin).
