Model 2: adjusted for Model 1 variables and hypertension, diabetes, smoking, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, natural log-transformed (C-reactive protein), estimated glomerular filtration rate, natural log-transformed (urine albumin/creatinine). Model 3: adjusted for Model 2 variables and common carotid intima media thickness (cIMT), internal cIMT, and natural log-transformed coronary artery calcification.
