Figure 2 Incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in relation to blood lead quartiles, adjusted for age, sex, smoking, alcohol intake, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, waist circumference, education level, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (CKD-EPI [CKD Epidemiology Collaboration] creatinine equation) at baseline: (A) quartile 4 (Q4) versus Q1 to Q3 combined, (B) Q2, Q3, and Q4 versus Q1. Number at risk (events) are presented at the bottom of the figure.
