Overall, 878 participants were examined. Line graphs show mean arterial pressure (A), cardiac index (B), left cardiac work index (C), and systemic vascular resistance index (D) in 480 men and 398 women during supine position and passive head‐up tilt (312 men and 303 women were without medications with direct cardiovascular actions; means and 95% CIs of the mean). P values denote differences between sexes in unadjusted analysis and in analyses adjusted for low‐ and high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, mean arterial pressure, smoking habits, alcohol intake, age, and body mass index. In adjusted analyses, the numbers of participants ranged from 402 to 411 for men and from 332 to 342 for women.
