Results for SPM whole brain analyses for gray and white matter volumes; and for small volume corrected ROIs, which passed the initial threshold, but were not significant after FWE-cluster correction.

FWE-cluster corrected p < .05 at initial threshold p < .005; k > 50. GM = gray matter; HT = hypertension; MDD = major depressive disorder; MCC = mid-cingulate cortex; IFG = inferior frontal gyrus; ACC = anterior cingulate cortex; k = cluster size; MNI-coordinate = coordinates of the voxel showing peak significance in mean MNI-space (defined by the Montreal Neurological Institute). Comparisons in the analyses: main effects of HT and MDD and interaction effects of HT ∗ MDD, adjusted for scan location, sex, age and anxiety. HT ∗ MDD = interaction effect; MDD > MDD+ = lower GM for participants with MDD.
