  1. CI confidence interval, UACR urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio
  2. aAdjusted for age (year), sex, smoking status (non-, past, vs. current smoking), drinking frequency (rare, occasional, vs. daily), current treatment for dyslipidemia and diabetes, body mass index (kg/m2), systolic blood pressure (mmHg), total cholesterol (mg/dL), triglyceride (log mg/dL), hemoglobin A1c (%), estimated glomerular filtration rate (mL/min/1.73 m2), UACR (log mg/gCr), and salt intake (g/day) at the baseline visit
  3. bP for interaction between Δsalt intake and drinking frequency in the adjusted model
