Incident CKD was defined as a follow-up eGFRcysC≤60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in individuals with baseline GFR>60 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Inc, incident; IRR, incident rate ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; ref, reference; R, right; BMI, body mass index.

a

Adjusted for age, sex, race, site, and baseline eGFR.

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, and prevalent heart failure.
