*Incidence rate for > 30 eGFR decline is calculated from the random subcohort only. **Adjusted for age, gender, race, education, and site. Additionally adjusted for estimated glomerular filtration rate and urine albumin-creatinine ratio. Additionally adjusted for diabetes, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive medications, smoking status, body mass index, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, statin use, and C-reactive protein.
