	Model 1		Model 2
	β Coefficient ^*	P value	β Coefficient ^*	P value
dp-ucMGP	0.30	<0.001	0.25	0.004
Age			0.41	<0.001

Model 1: unadjusted; Model 2: Multivariable-adjusted model; variables with significant association in the multivariable model are highlighted; dp-ucMGP: Dephosphorylated uncarboxylated Matrix Gla-Protein; CF-PWV: carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity; eGFR: Estimated glomerular filtration rate

Standardized coefficients are presented for easier comparison of various predictor
