BMI, body-mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SD, standard deviation; SMBP, self-measured blood pressure.

* Defined as averaged pharmacist-measured SBP < 140 mmHg and DBP < 90 mmHg during the May Measurement Month visit. # Percentages of all treated hypertensive participants who reported their SMBP frequencies; n = 20,078.
