a

Adjusted for age, sex, history of major cardiovascular disease, history of hypercholesterolemia, alcohol drinking, physical activity, baseline body-mass index, and systolic (or diastolic) blood pressure.

b

Controlled hypertension was defined as systolic BP <140 mmHg and diastolic DBP <90 mmHg among patients with hypertension.

c

High adherence was defined as eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale score equal to eight. Patients who were not taking antihypertensive medication did not collect information on medical adherence.

d

Adjusted for age, sex, history of major cardiovascular disease, history of hypercholesterolemia, alcohol drinking, physical activity, and baseline body-mass index, systolic blood pressure, and eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale score.

e

Titration or addition of new antihypertensive medications since baseline.
