  1. Model 1, unadjusted. Model 2, adjusted for age and sex. Model 3, model 2 + adjusted for co-morbidities (high body mass index, high waist circumference, diabetes, dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease, stroke, and history of smoking). Model 4, model 3 + adjusted for eGFR and proteinuria).
  2. CI, confidence interval; HTN, hypertension; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
