Data presented are mean ± SD; Data of all parameters listed in this table are nonparametric except Mean RR. Group 1: Normotensive subjects with normal BMI; Group 2: Prehypertensive subjects with normal BMI; Group 3: Prehypertensive subjects with higher BMI; The * mark indicates comparison with normotensive subjects with normal BMI and the # mark indicates comparison with prehypertensive subjects with normal BMI. * p < 0.05; ** p <0.01; *** p <0.001; # p < 0.05; ## p <0.01; ### p <0.001.
