  1. Alcohol consumption was measured using the traditional Japanese alcohol unit, Go, where 1 Go corresponds to 22 g ethanol. β indicates standardized regression coefficient. Frequency of nocturnal urination was obtained using a sleep diary
  2. baPWV brachial-to-ankle pulse wave velocity, BMI body mass index, BP blood pressure, HbA1c hemoglobin A1c, HDL high-density lipoprotein, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate
