Odds Ratios (95% CIs) of significant variables in adolescence for hypertension events in adulthood

Independent variable	OR (95% CI)	P-value
Model 1
Age at 4th exama, years	1.02(0.91–1.15)	0.69
Gender, female	0.31(0.15–0.64)	0.001
Systolic blood pressure, 10 mmHg	1.03(1.01–1.06)	0.02
Diastolic blood pressure, 10 mmHg	1.04(1.01–1.08)	0.02
Wrist, cm	1.50(1.18–1.89)	0.001
Total cholesterol, mmol/L	1.39(1.06–1.84)	0.02
Propensity scorea, %	1.01(0.99–1.03)	0.15

A forward stepwise approach was considered to keep significant covariates among gender, BMI, waist, wrist and hip circumference, FBS, TG, HDL-C, TC, eGFR, SBP and DBP with a p-value of <0.2 for enter and >0.05 for removal

The AUC of the model was 0.84 (95% CI: 0.79–89) and its Hosmer-Lemeshow chi² was 4.3 (p = 0.83)
