Test GLM. * <5%. ** <1%. S.E. = std. error. CI = confidence interval. Estim.= estimate. sec.= secondary; terc.= tertiary. NOR + ACTIVE = normotensive + physically active. NOR + IA = normotensive + insufficiently active. AHNOTADH+ACTIVE = hypertensive not/partially adherent + physically active. AHNOTADH+IA = hypertensive not/partially adherent + insufficiently active. AHADH+ACTIVE = hypertensive adherent + physically active. AHADH+IA = active hypertensive adherent + insufficiently active.
