  1. a Reference ranges are from Quest Diagnostics, with the exception of urea and total creatinine phosphokinase (CPK), which are from the Nicaraguan National Laboratory. Reference ranges are for men ages 20–49 years. The serum creatinine reference range for men ages 18–19 is 0.60–1.26 (mg/dL) and for serum calcium is 8.9–10.4 (mg/dL)
  2. b Age-adjusted mean difference by CKD status was calculated using linear regression
  3. c All values presented were collected prior to the work shift on Day 1 of baseline enrollment
  4. d Albumin and carbon dioxide were only assessed in samples from El Salvador (n = 279)
  5. e Log transformed for linear regression. Exponentiated beta coefficients and 95% CIs are displayed
  6. f Total creatinine phosphokinase was only assessed in samples from Nicaragua (n = 290)
