Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for diabetes, elevated blood pressure, and CKD, in Indigenous Canadians of different dwelling locations

	HbA1c (% ≥ 6.5%)a	Elevated BP (>140 mm Hg SBP or > 90 mm Hg DBP)b	CKD (eGFR < 60 or urine ACR > 3 mg/mmol)c	CKD (eGFR < 60 or urine ACR > 3 mg/mmol)c,d
Urban Indigenous (reference)	—	—	—	—
Rural Indigenous	2.1 (1.4−3.1)	1.1 (0.7−1.6)	1.2 (0.8−1.7)	0.9 (0.6−1.4)
Remote Indigenous	4.1 (2.8−6.0)	1.2 (0.8−1.9)	3.1 (2.2−4.5)	2.3 (1.5−3.2)

ACR, albumin to creatinine ratio; BP, blood pressure; CKD, chronic kidney disease; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA_1c, glycated hemoglobin; SBP, systolic blood pressure.

Age and sex controlled for in all analyses.

Reference: ^aHbA_1c % < 6.5%.

^bLow BP.

^cNo CKD.

^dControlled for age, sex, and HbA_1c.
