a

Groups may not sum to 100% due to rounding. eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; PLCO = Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial.

b

χ2 test, except for body mass index (Fisher’s exact test). Not reported for matching factors (age, center, sex, and race).

c

Self-reported at study baseline.

d

Includes 1 case with missing information for history of hypertension.

e

At blood draw.
