Note: The unit for eGFR slope was mL/min/1.73 m2 per decade; all such values given as estimate (95% CI).

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; SD, standard deviation; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio.

a

Centered at median of each race-sex group.

b

In an overall unadjusted model combining sex-race groups, P < 0.001 for all obesity measurements for interaction between sex-race and the association of eGFR decline with baseline obesity.

c

Model 1 adjusted for age (continuous), center (categorical), current smoker (yes/no), and prevalent coronary heart disease (yes/no) at baseline; model 2 additionally adjusted for hypertension medication (yes/no), systolic blood pressure (continuous), total cholesterol level (continuous), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (continuous), triglyceride level (continuous, log transformed), education level (high school graduate/not), and annual family income (categorical) at baseline.

d

Black participants in the Minnesota and Washington County centers were excluded in the model because of small numbers.

e

P < 0.001.

f

P < 0.05.

g

P < 0.01.
