Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals were derived from Cox proportional hazards regression models. T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus; GFR indicates glomerular filtration rate; HDL, high-density lipoprotein. Model 1: Adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, alcohol consumption, smoking status, triglyceride:HDL cholesterol ratio, antihypertensive treatment, and parental history of T2DM. Model 2: Model 1 and additionally adjusted for plasma levels of albumin, potassium, and calcium and urinary albumin excretion. Model 3: Model 2 and additionally adjusted for CRP, fasting glucose, and eGFR.
