Adjusted hazard ratios of the TA-% WHR change categories for CKD development in NAFLD patients. Adjusted HR was determined by multivariable Cox regression analysis after age, sex, education, income, smoking status, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, history of cardiovascular disease, C-reactive protein concentrations, and baseline eGFR adjustment. Stratified analyses were performed in obese NAFLD and non-obese NAFLD patients, respectively. Abbreviation: CI, confidence interval; CKD, chronic kidney disease; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HR, hazard ratio; NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; TA-% WHR change, time-averaged percent waist-to-hip ratio change.
