Cross-sectional association between TGF-β quartiles and CKD defined as eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Quartiles 2, 3, and 4 were compared to quartile 1. The shown adjusted odds ratio are adjusted for age, sex, black race, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, history of cardiovascular disease, and C-reactive protein: Quartile 2: OR for CKD was 1.59 (95% C.I. 1.11, 2.28; p value = 0.01) Quartile 3: OR for CKD was 1.72 (95% C.I. 1.20, 2.45; p value = 0.003). Quartile 4: OR for CKD was 1.50 (95% C.I. 1.04, 2.15; p value = 0.03)
