Of the 85,421 subjects invited to participate, 40,856 responded. The final sample is constisted of 8,592 consenting subjects with a morning urinary albumin concentration (UAC) of >10 mg/L and an a-select sample of those with an UAC <10 mg/L who completed the first screening. Pregnant women and participants with diabetes mellitus were excluded.
