***p < .001; **p < .01; *p < .05. 1Female as the reference group. 2Participants without daily smoking as the reference group. Total N = 1293. Model 1, adjusted for age and sex. Model 2, adjusted also for parents’ and offspring’s socioeconomic factors. Model 3, adjusted also for health behaviors. Compassion was standardized to mean = 0 and SD = 1. Hence, OR refers to change in probability of hypertension per one-unit change (i.e., 1-SD change) in compassion
