Data are presented as HR (95% CI). All analyses involved complex sampling designs. Model 1 was adjusted for age, gender, family PIR, self-reported race, education, marital status, alcohol consumption, smoking status and vigorous/moderate recreational activity. Model 2 was additionally adjusted for total energy intake, intake of whole grains, fruit, vegetables, red and processed meat, artificially sweetened beverages, dietary acid load, dietary sodium and total fat. Model 3 was additionally adjusted for baseline eGFR, body mass index, total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio, hypertension, diabetes, CVD and cancer.
