The clinical characteristics of study participants.

Note: Characteristics are reported as percentages for categorical variables and means (±SD) or median (with interquartile range) for continuous variables. The study participants were divided into four groups based on the level of the quartile of eGFR (≥97.02, 97.01–87.76, 87.75–78.97, ≤78.96 mL/min/1.73 m2). Categorical variables are presented as counts and percentages. The values outside the parentheses are the number of subjects, and the values inside the parentheses are prevalence.The quartile 1 level of eGFR was used as the reference and the quartile 2,3,4 vs the quartile 1, respectively.*#eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; hs-cTnT denotes high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T; BMI, bodymass index; WC, waist circumference; BP, blood pressure; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro B-type.
