a. Prevalence of hypertension and prehypertension with increasing body mass index (BMI, kg/m²) categories. b. Prevalence of hypertension and prehypertension with increasing waist circumference categories. c. Prevalence of hypertension and prehypertension with increasing quartiles (Q1 through Q4) of percentage body fat. Abbreviations: <85/80: waist circumference less than 85 cm in males and less than 80 cm in females; 85/80–<90/85, waist circumference between 85 and 90 cm in males and between 80 and 85 cm in females; 90/85–95/90, waist circumference between 90 and 95 cm in males and between 85 and 90 cm in females; ≥95/90: waist circumference more than 95 cm in males and more than 90 cm in females. Legend: Prevalence of hypertension was increased with increasing BMI, waist circumference, and increasing quartiles of percentage of body fat (all p trends <0.001).
