a

Models adjusted for age, sex, race, clinical center, diabetes status, estimated glomerular filtration rate, 24-hour urinary protein excretion, and baseline cardiovascular, systolic blood pressure, and antihypertensive medications.

b

The distribution of magnesium by tertiles was tertile 1, 0.70 to 1.89 mg/dL; tertile 2, 1.90 to 2.09 mg/dL (reference group); and tertile 3, 2.10 to 3.30 mg/dL.

c

Statistically significant.

d

Composite cardiovascular events include incident congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease.
