eGFR Estimated glomerular filtration rate, ACR Albumin to creatinine ratio, LDL Low density lipoprotein, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP Diastolic blood pressure
The eGFR values were calculated using the 2009 CKD-Epidemiology creatinine equation. Systolic hypertension phenotype was defined by the level of office and ambulatory daytime systolic blood pressure
