Association of Prevalent Hypertension with Concentric Remodeling, Eccentric Hypertrophy, and Concentric Hypertrophy versus Normal Pattern

	Odds Ratio (95% Confidence Interval)
	Crude	Model 1	Model 2
Normal Pattern	1 (Referent)	1 (Referent)	1 (Referent)
Concentric Remodeling	2.32 (1.90 – 2.83)	1.72 (1.39 – 2.13)	1.78 (1.42 – 2.24)
Eccentric Hypertrophy	2.50 (1.80 – 3.47)	1.58 (1.12 – 2.23)	1.68 (1.15 – 2.44)
Concentric Hypertrophy	5.86 (3.74 – 9.19)	3.54 (2.23 – 5.62)	3.86 (2.28 – 6.54)

Model 1- adjusted for age, sex, body mass index.

Model 2- adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, diabetes, education less than high school, alcohol consumption (none: 0 drinks/week; moderate consumption: 1–14 and 1–7 alcoholic drinks/week for men and women; heavy consumption: >14 and >7 alcoholic drinks/week for men and women), current smoking status, physical activity, and estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73 m².

LVH: left ventricular hypertrophy, LVMI: left ventricular mass index, RWT: relative wall thickness

LVH is defined as increased LVMI ≥ 96 g/m² in females and ≥ 116 g/m² in males. Normal LVMI is defined as < 96 g/m² in females and < 116 g/m² in males. Increased RWT is defined as RWT > 0.42.

Normal RWT is defined as RWT ≤ 0.42.

Normal pattern is defined as: normal LVMI and normal RWT.

Concentric remodeling is defined as: normal LVMI and increased RWT.

Eccentric hypertrophy is defined as: LVH and normal RWT.

Concentric hypertrophy is defined as: LVH and increased RWT.
