aPresented as mean (SD) for continuous variables and proportions for dichotomous variables. IBP Lower had IBP systolic BP > 10 mm Hg below the participant’s self-estimation of their own BP, IBP Similar had IBP systolic BP within 10 mm Hg of the participant’s self-estimation, and IBP Higher had IBP systolic BP > 10 mm Hg above the participant’s self-estimation. Proportions are compared with χ2 and continuous variables are compared with two-tailed t tests.
