Abbreviations: BMI = body mass index; BP = blood pressure; FM = fat mass; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; CK = creatine kinase; SBP = systolic blood pressure; Coef = coefficient; CI = confidence interval. Note: Regression coefficients (β) represent the change in mean difference in CK (in IU/L) per 1-SD difference in each continuous predictor variable. Other abbreviations as Table 1.
