Table 1. Characteristics of patients with known age ≥ 18 years.
| Variable | Overall (n = 2 347) | F (n = 1 236**) | M (n = 1 111) | p-value unadjusted | p-value adjusted |
| Age (years) | 39.6 ± 16.1 | 38.9 ± 15.9 | 40.5 ± 16.4 | 0.018* | |
| SBP (mmHg) | 133.2 ± 28.5 | 133.5 ± 28.6 | 132.8 ± 28.5 | 0.57* | 0.042* |
| DBP (mmHg) | 83.3 ± 16.7 | 84.0 ± 17.1 | 82.6 ± 16.1 | 0.049* | 0.001* |
| HTN (%) | 44.5 | 45.6 | 43.3 | 0.26† | 0.016†† |
Values: mean ± SD or %.
**Females: n = 1 237 for SBP and age, and n = 1 236 for DBP and HTN.
p-values for M vs F: *Student’s t-test, †χ2-test, ††multivariable model (odds ratio = 1.25). Adjustment: for age.
F = females, M = males, SD = standard deviation, SBP = systolic blood pressure, DBP = diastolic blood pressure, HTN = hypertension.
