Means, prevalence, odds ratios (OR), and regression coefficients (B).

Values are means and standard deviations (SD), odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) or regression coefficients (B) and 95% CI.

B: Regression coefficient per-variant allele effects in the additive model (genotypes coded as 0, 1 and 2 according to the number of minor alleles for additive effects) and regression coefficients for homozygotes for the variant allele versus the other genotypes in the recessive model (genotypes coded as 0 for GG and GA and 1 for AA).

SBP: Systolic blood pressure. DBP: Diastolic blood pressure.

1: Unadjusted P values for the polymorphism for the comparison of means or OR (in an additive or recessive models as indicated).

2: Models adjusted for sex, age, center, type 2 diabetes, medications (antihypertensive drugs, lipid-lowering drugs and antidiabetic drugs) and diagnosed hypertension.

3: Model 2 additionally adjusted for BMI. Further adjustment for total energy intake, adherence to Mediterranean diet and physical activity did not change the statistical significance of these associations.
