  1. Values are weighted estimates presented as percent (standard error). Estimates were standardized to the July 2008 US census population ≥20 years of age.
  2. *CKD Stage 1–4 was identified by the presence of kidney damage (based on albuminuria) and level of decline in kidney function (based on eGFR), and staged using modified National Kidney Foundation criteria (see Methods).
  3. P values are for Stage 1 versus Stage 4 CKD, obtained using the SAS procedure SURVEYLOGISTIC; P values for No CKD versus All CKD are all <0.001, obtained using the SAS procedure SURVEYFREQ (see Methods).
  4. ‡All disease history and drug utilization was self-reported.
  5. §Cardiovascular disease was a composite of self-reported CHD, stroke or CHF.
  6. ║Coronary heart disease was identified by self-report of CHD, angina or myocardial infarction.
  7. ¶Diabetes was identified by self-report, self-reported use of insulin or oral medications for diabetes, or fasting glucose ≥126 mg/dL.
  8. #Hyperlipidemia was defined as LDL-C ≥160 mg/dL for individuals with ≤1 CHD risk factor, ≥130 mg/dL for individuals with ≥2 CHD risk factors, ≥100 mg/dL for individuals with CHD or CHD risk equivalents (eg, diabetes), or self-reported use of lipid-lowering agents.
  9. **Hypertension was defined as an average BP >130 mmHg systolic or >80 mmHg diastolic, or self-reported use of antihypertensive agents.
