Urinary Sodium Concentration Is an Independent Predictor of All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in a Type 2 Diabetes Cohort Population

Table 5

Cox proportional hazards models for the risk of cardiovascular death.

	Univariate	P value	Model A	P value
	Crude; hazard ratio (95% CI)		Adjusted; hazard ratio (95% CI)
	0.65 (0.56 to 0.74)	<0.001	0.66 (0.54 to 0.81)	<0.001
U :	0.56 (0.47 to 0.67)	<0.001	0.89 (0.74 to 1.07)	0.33

Hazard ratios were standardized by calculating them for 1-SD increment of each continuous variable.
Model A = , , U : , age, sex and estimated 24 h-Na excretion.
