  1. Values expressed as numbers and proportions in parentheses or mean ± SD, as appropriate.
  2. CKD is defined either kidney damage (proteinuria ≥ 300 mg/day) and/or kidney function (< 60 ml/min/1.73 m2).
  3. Percentages based on responding number, not total participant number.
  4. ACEI: Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors. PreHTN = Prehypertension.
