ALB and chronic kidney disease: In primary analyses, we assessed relationships between log-transformed baseline biomarker levels (continuous) and subsequent subclinical CAD (binary) in logistic regression models adjusted for traditional cardiovascular risk factors (age [categorical; reference 45–54, 55–64, ≥ 65 years], diabetes, hypertension, total cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dL, past or current smoking, abdominal obesity [binary; waist-to-hip ratio ≥ 0.85 for females, ≥ 0.9 for males]) and non-traditional risk enhancers (binary; HIV, chronic kidney disease [CKD] defined as urine albumin ≥ 30 mg/dL).
