  1. aThese parameters were logarithm transformed in the analysis due to their skewed distribution
  2. ß indicates per SD increment of CNP and was adjusted for age, sex, eGFR, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, current smoker, previous history of cardiovascular diseases, hemoglobin and systolic blood pressure
  3. Bold entries indicate statistical significance
