PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 4 years

Population: Glomerular filtration rate data was not collected as samples were never analyzed.

Serum creatinine and cystatin C measurement pre-randomization and year 4

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 years post-randomization

Population: Urine samples were not collected from 34 participants in the 'Vitamin D and Fish Oil' group; 41 participants in the 'Vitamin D and Fish Oil Placebo' group; 33 participants in the 'Vitamin D Placebo and Fish Oil' group; and 35 participants in the 'Vitamin D Placebo and Fish Oil Placebo' group. As such, there was no data to analyze from these participants.

Number of participants with positive Microalbuminuria was reported. Participants were defined as having positive microalbuminuria if their lab results were \>30 mg/g Creatinine
