Values are the number of hypertensive participants and the total number of participants not having the corresponding risk factor. The number between brackets is the percentage hypertensive subjects. Diabetes mellitus was the use of antidiabetic drugs, a fasting glucose ≥7.0 mmol/L, a random glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L, a self-reported diagnosis, or diabetes mellitus documented in practice or hospital records. Obesity was a body mass index ≥30 kg/m2. CVD indicates cardiovascular disease; and EPOGH, European Project on Genes in Hypertension.
