Each row represents a separate model. Outcome variable for linear regression modelling was log10 ACR. HbA1c, sex, lipids and SBP SDS were not significant in univariable models. Outcome variable for logistic regression modelling was high-risk ACR group. HbA1c, sex and lipids were not significant in univariable models

aMultivariable models are adjusted for BMI SDS and duration
