Note: r and p are the unadjusted correlation coefficients and associated p-value. ra and pa are values after adjustment with age, gender and BMI. SBP is systolic blood pressure, DBP is diastolic blood pressure and eGFR is estimated glomerular filtration rate. Non-normal variables (#) are log-transformed before analysis.
