Figure 1 Magnitude of Association Between Prevalent Renal Artery Calcium and Hypertension
White bar = unadjusted; orange bar = age and gender; green bar = age, gender, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors (RFs); blue bar = age, gender, CVD RFs, and abdominal aortic calcium score; maroon bar = age, gender, CVD RFs, and total extrarenal calcium score. Vertical bars = 95% confidence interval; p < 0.05 for all models.
