No self-reported missed voids—urine sodium tertile 1: <121.9 mmol/day; tertile 2: >=121.9 to <175.8 mmol/day; tertile 3: >=175.8 mmol/day. 22–26 h urine samples with no missed voids —urine sodium tertile 1: <126.4 mmol/day; tertile 2: >=126.4 to <178.9 mmol/day; tertile 3: >=178.9 mmol/day. Creatinine index ≥0.7—urine sodium tertile 1: <133.7 mmol/day; tertile 2: >=133.7 to <186.1 mmol/day; tertile 3: >=186.1 mmol/day. mCER within 15% of Kawasaki predicted daily creatinine —urine sodium tertile 1: <119.4 mmol/day; tertile 2: >=119.4 to <162.9 mmol/day; tertile 3: >=162.9 mmol/day. mCER within 25% of Kawasaki predicted daily creatinine: <119.7 mmol/day; tertile 2: >=119.7 to <166.1 mmol/day; tertile 3: >=166.1 mmol/day. Sex-specific mCER ranges—urine sodium tertile 1: <104.2 mmol/day; tertile 2: >=104.2 to <151 mmol/day; tertile 3: >=151 mmol/day. mCER: measured 24-h urine creatinine excretion; pCER: predicted 24-h urine creatinine excretion. Model 1: Unadjusted; Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI); Model 3: additionally, adjusted for physical activities, smoking status, alcohol consumption, sleep hours, religion, and household wealth. * p-value < 0.05 suggestive of a linear trend.
