OR, odds ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; ref, reference; R, right; BMI, body mass index.

a

Adjusted for age, sex, race, and site.

b

Further adjusted for diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, hypertension meds, albumin-to-creatinine ratio, smoking, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, oral estrogen, prevalent coronary heart disease, prevalent heart failure, and C-reactive protein. Kidney function decline was defined as eGFR-Cr decline >30% (using creatinine at years 3 and 10).
