FIGURE 3.

Distributions of the Office (A,C) and Home (B,D) systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The solid and dotted lines represent the normal and kernel density distributions. p‐values are for departure of the actually observed distribution from normality according to the Shapiro‐Wilk statistic. M indicates the arithmetic mean. Skewness (S) and kurtosis (K) were computed as the third and fourth moments about the mean divided by the cube of the standard deviation. The home blood pressure was the average of all readings from screening to randomization.
