Past history of hypertension: n (%)	1.031	0.002^*	-	-	-	-
Smoking: n (%)	0.614	0.066	0.682	0.088	0.453	0.324

HbA1c (%)	0.119	0.055	0.076	0.160	0.099	0.238
Systolic BP (mm Hg)	0.025	< 0.001^*	0.022	0.015^*	0.036	0.001^*
Diastolic BP (mm Hg)	0.027	0.003^*	0.014	0.798	-0.003	0.841
Cortisol at 8:00 h (nmol/L)	0.003	0.006^*	0.004	0.005^*	-	-
Cortisol at 16:00 h (nmol/L)	0.004	0.002^*	-	-	0.005	0.001^*
eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m²)	-0.016	0.001^*	-0.017	0.005^*	-0.008	0.210

Cortisol level at 8:00 h and at 16:00 h were put in multivariate analysis separately to decrease the possible bias caused by combination enhanced effects. HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; BP, blood pressure; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; ^*P-value < 0.05.
