Results are based on linear regression adjusting for sex, age, age2, ancestry-based principal components and genotyping array. The heterozygous or recessive genetic model was also included in the regression as shown. eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c: glycated haemoglobin; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; IGF: insulin-like growth factor; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; SHBG: sex hormone-binding globulin. #: calculated using the following formula: if cystatin C (cys)≤0.8, then eGFR=133*((cys/0.8)**−0.499)*(0.996**age)*[0.932 if female]; whereas if cys>0.8, then eGFR=133*((cys/0.8)**−1.328)*(0.996**age)*[0.932 if female].
