  1. aNormal renal function, bmild renal impairment, and cchronic kidney disease (CKD) were defined as respectively, GFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2, 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 > GFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2, and GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. dNon-chronic kidney disease includes normal renal function and mild renal impairment. Anemia: hemoglobin in level <13.0 g/dL. Multivariable OR: adjusted further for age, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive medication use, body mass index, smoking, alcohol intake, diabetes, history of cardiovascular disease, serum HDL cholesterol, serum triglycerides (TG), serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and serum γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (γGTP).
