  1. Data are expressed as unstandardized coefficients (standard errors). Linear regression analyses were used. eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate.
  2. *Denotes statistical significance at P < 0.05.
  3. **Full model included PbB, eGFR (which incorporates age and serum creatinine level), current smoking status, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension and BMI. All variables were categorical except eGFR and BMI, which were entered as continuous measures.
