N=5892.

a

The coefficients for the neighborhood problems score represent the risk of a >30% decrease in eGFR over the ten-year period comparing each quartile to quartile 1 (Q1). Quartiles of the neighborhood problems score are: Q1≤1.32, Q2=1.33–1.47, Q3=1.48–1.63, Q4≥1.64.

b

The coefficients for the neighborhood social cohesion score represents the risk of a >30% decrease in eGFR over the ten-year period comparing each quartile to Q1. Quartiles of the social cohesion score are: Q1≤3.42, Q2=3.43–3.52, Q3=3.53–3.69, Q4≥3.70.

c

Model 1 is unadjusted.

d

Model 2 includes adjustment for age, gender, race/ethnicity (in models with the total sample only), income, education, and MESA site.

e

Model 3 includes further adjustment for diabetes, hypertension, smoking, BMI, LDL, HDL, CRP, and UACR.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; eGFR, ________; HR, hazard ratio; MESA, _____.
