Hazard ratios for the cardiovascular composite endpoint.

The variables listed in Table 1 and CVD-AI were firstly assessed in the univariate analysis of the Cox proportional hazards regression model. Only variables shown to be statistically significant in the univariate model are shown in this table.aEach estimate was adjusted for all variables shown in this table.Abbreviations: BP, blood pressure; CI, confidence interval, CVD-AI, cardiovascular disease-amino acid based index; HDL, high density lipoprotein; UAER, urinary albumin excretion rate; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; baPWV, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity.
