Data are hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) unless otherwise indicated. Model 1 adjusted for age and race. Model 2 adjusted for age, race, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, HbA1c, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, estimated GFR, and smoking. Models 3 adjusted for age, race, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, HbA1c, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, estimated GFR, smoking, use of antihypertensive drugs, use of diabetes medications, and use of lipid-lowering agents.
