Table 2.
Multivariable linear regression model for morning-evening blood pressure difference.
| Variable | Beta-coefficient (95% CI) |
P value |
|---|---|---|
| Systolic morning-evening home BP difference | ||
| Age | 0.12 (0.03–0.21) | 0.007 |
| Smoking habit | −7.52 (−11.44–[−3.61]) | <0.0001 |
| Diastolic morning-evening home BP difference | ||
| Age | 0.07 (0.03–0.12) | 0.001 |
| Total cholesterol | 0.99 (0.38–1.6) | 0.002 |
| CCB use | 1.44 (0.21–2.66) | 0.02 |
| Smoking habit | −2.91 (−4.81–[−1.02]) | 0.003 |
Adjusted R 2 values for the model were 6.2% for systolic and 8.5% (P < 0.0001) for diastolic morning-evening BP difference, respectively.
