However, none of these variables significantly modified the correlations between DCI and all-cause or CVD mortality for age (<60 vs ≥60 years), sex (male vs female), diabetes (yes vs no), history of hypertension (yes vs no), history of CVD (yes vs no), serum albumin levels (<38 vs ≥38 g/L), CRP levels (<3 vs ≥3 mg/L), DEI (<25 kcal/kg/day vs ≥25 kcal/kg/day) and DPI (<1.0 g/kg/day vs ≥1.0 kcal/kg/day) (all P-values for interactions >.05). Here, ALB is linked to Hypertension.
