Adjusted hazard ratio of incident AAA across ACR categories, ARIC, 1996–2011

	ACR (mg/g)
	<10 n = 8,562 250 cases (3%)	10–29 n = 1,275 52 cases (4%)	30–299 n = 699 36 cases (5%)	300+ n = 188 9 cases (5%)	p for trend
Model 1	Reference	1.46 (1.08–1.97)	1.99 (1.40–2.83)	2.49 (1.28–4.87)	<0.001
Model 2	Reference	1.34 (0.99–1.83)	1.48 (1.02–2.15)	1.59 (0.76–3.29)	0.005

Model 1 adjusted for age, gender, race, and center, and Model 2 further adjusted for smoking status, alcohol intake, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, anti-hypertensive medication, diabetes, total and HDL cholesterols, prevalent stroke, CHD, HF, and ACR. p for trend was based on log-ACR as a continuous variable.
