2. Figure 1
Graphical representation of the association between risk predictors and change in renal function during follow-up (assessed as slope through three eGFR values over time per individual). The Loess method (locally weighted polynomial regression analysis)52 is used to plot these associations. Using this method makes it possible to show a possible nonlinear relationship, as the plots are ‘distribution free’. The histograms (expressed as percentage) present the distributions of the predictors. HDL, high-density lipoprotein; SBP, systolic blood pressure; UAE, urinary albumin excretion.
