The primary physical activity, alcohol consumption, smoking, comorbidities. Results: Multivariable analysis revealed that age, proteinuria, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hyperuricemia, hypertension significantly associated with higher odds kidney function. Sufficient current being a smoker lower However, subgroup sex effects sufficient activity sex-specific.
