At the first scenario, minimum risk for hypertension was considered as 5-mmHg hypothetical intervention on systolic blood pressure above 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure above 82 mmHg. The corresponding values for the second and third scenarios were 10-mmHg hypothetical interventions and zero prevalence, respectively.
