Note. β = standardized regression coefficient; R² = total variance explained by the model; ΔR² = variance explained by neighborhood problems after adjusting for confounders.

systolic dipping is adjusted for awake systolic blood pressure, diastolic dipping is adjusted for awake diastolic blood pressure, mean dipping is adjusted for awake mean arterial pressure.

Cardiovascular disease risk factors: body mass index, leisure time exercise, and smoking status.

Socioeconomic status (Hollingshead Two-Factor Index), subjective social status, depression, and everyday discrimination.
