Note: SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; PCE, per capita household annual consumption expenditure; BMI, body mass index; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval. All models were adjusted for age, living standard, BMI, comorbidity, smoking and drinking alcohol. Models 1 included only main-effects terms for all variables; Models 2 included both main-effects terms and interaction-effects terms for treatment and household consumption expenditure, BMI and comorbidity. × refers to the interaction term.
