Figure 1 Distribution of predicted cardiovascular (CV) mortality risk using the Framingham variables and one versus three urine samples (that is, one vs. three albumin–creatinine ratios (ACRs)) in controls (no CV death) and cases (CV death) during 13 years of follow-up. Risk was predicted using logistic regression analysis including information on age, sex, diabetes, antihypertensive treatment, systolic blood pressure, smoking, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In addition, information on urine albumin excretion (lnACR) based on one versus three urine samples was added.
