Data are annual change in eGFR or relative risk per SD increase in metabolite concentration, after adjustment for age, sex, region (Beijing/Shanghai), residence (urban/rural), education, current smoking, current drinking, physical activity, body mass index, lipid-lowering medication use, HDL, LDL, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and eGFR at baseline. Only metabolites associated with annual eGFR change after Bonferroni correction for multiple testing of the 56 metabolites (P<8.9E−04) are shown.
