CI, confidence interval; CVA, cerebrovascular accident; DM, diabetes mellitus; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; OR, odds ratio.

The dependent variable in the analyses is low urinary creatinine excretion.

Model 1 = crude; Model 2 = adjusted for age, race, sex, and height; Model 3 = all variables added in 1 model.

Educational level: level 1 = university; level 5 = primary school or less.
