 Urinary albumin per creatinine excretion ratio (UAR) in subjects with normotension (NT) or masked hypertension (MHT) defined by home blood pressure (HBP) and/or 24‐hour average blood pressure (ABP) (includes only those with office blood pressure <140/90 mm Hg). Data are shown as the adjusted geometric means (±1 standard error). P values are based on an analysis of covariance that adjusts for age, gender, body mass index, current smoking, presence of hyperlipidemia, and presence of impaired fasting glucose or diabetes. Intergroup differences in the adjusted geometric means were tested using Bonferroni test. Values of P<.05 were considered statistically significant. HBP and ABP values were measured in mm Hg.
