2. Figure 1
Spline of adjusted* hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) for incident chronic kidney disease according to baseline plasma level of galectin-3. Histogram of baseline plasma levels of galectin-3 are shown in gray. The solid lines represent the restricted cubic spline with knots at the 5th, 27.5th, 50th, 72.5th, and 95th percentiles for galectin-3. Galectin-3 levels were truncated at the 99th percentile. The 10th percentile of galectin-3 (10.2 ng/ml) was used as the reference point. Dashed lines represent the 95% confidence intervals. *Adjusted for age, sex, race-center, body mass index, smoking, education, physical activity, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive medication use, history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, fasting glucose, rs4644, estimated glomerular filtration rate-creatinine, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, troponin T, and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide.
