*BP was categorised using the JNC 7 guideline (prehypertension: SBP of 120–139 mm Hg and/or DBP of 80–89 mm Hg, hypertension: SBP of ≥140 mm Hg and/or DBP of ≥90 mm Hg).
†BP was categorised using the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline (normal BP=SBP <120 mm Hg and DBP <80 mm Hg, elevated BP=SBP 120–129 mm Hg and DBP <80 mm Hg, stage 1 hypertension=SBP 130–139 mm Hg or DBP 80–89 mm Hg, stage 2 hypertension=SBP ≥140 mm Hg or DBP ≥90 mm Hg).
‡SUA, normal: <5 mg/dL, high-normal: 5–7 mg/dL, high: ≥7 mg/dL.
ACC/AHA, American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association; BP, blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HT, hypertension; JNC 7, Seventh Report of Joint National Committee; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SUA, serum uric acid.
