Comparison of distribution of attachment classifications in our sample and a non-clinical European sample (Bakermans-Kranenburg and Van IJzendoorn, 2009).

Attachment classification	Sample hypertension absolute frequency	Exact confidence interval CI-95% (%)	Sample hypertension relative frequency (%)	Sample Europe relative frequency (%)	p-values
Secure (F)	5	[4–25]	12	52	<0.001***
Insecure (Ds, E, U)	38	[75–96]	88	48	<0.001***
Dismissing (Ds)	7	[7–31]	16	25	0.220
Preoccupied (E)	18	[27–58]	42	11	<0.001***
Unresolved trauma (U)	13	[17–44]	30	12	0.001**
Total	43	[100]	100	100	<0.001***

Significances were calculated by two-sided exact binomial test and in line “total” with exact multinomial test.
