Notes:

a

Adjusted for age, sex, treatment group, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol intake, eGFR, proteinuria, serum glucose, total cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate transaminase at baseline, and time-averaged systolic blood pressure during treatment.

b

Mean (SD).

c

Values are regression coefficients (95% CI).
