aEstimated glomerular filtration rate was calculated as mL/min/1.73 m2 using the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration equation containing plasma creatinine and cystatin C measurements.

bDiabetes was defined as having a fasting glucose > 126 mg/dL, a non-fasting glucose > 200 mg/dL, treatment for diabetes mellitus, or a self-reported physician diagnosis of diabetes.

cMyocardial infarction was defined as a history of adjudicated myocardial infarction or coronary revascularization procedure.

dHeart failure was adjudicated in ARIC by self-reported heart failure medication use within the past two weeks, or ICD-9 code 428.x or ICD-10 code I50 from hospitalization records.

eAntihypertensive medications included all medications indicated for hypertension: diuretics, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonist, adrenergic receptor antagonists, aldosterone receptor antagonists, and alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonists.
