The frequency of the respective strata for the analyzed variables is indicated for all participants, participants with hypertension, hypertensive participants with uncontrolled hypertension (≥140/90 mmHg), and participants with controlled hypertension (<140/90 mmHg). The percentage numbers (in brackets) indicate percent of all participants in which the respective variable was known. SBP = Systolic blood pressure, DBP = Diastolic blood pressure.
