Covariates were: sex, MAP, age, HR, WC, height, fasting glucose, eGFR, uric acid, estimated 24‐hour salt intake, diabetes mellitus (yes/no), current smoking use (yes/no), current alcohol use (yes/no), practice of physical activity (weak, moderate, or vigorous intensity), and use of BP‐lowering drugs (yes/no). Sample size: white (n=5270), brown (n=2783), and black (n=1574). BP indicates blood pressure; cf‐PWV, carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HR, heart rate; MAP, mean arterial pressure; WC, waist circumference.
