Multinomial logistic regression analysis of hypertension diagnosis by amount of ST; excluding women on anti-hypertensive medications (n = 395).

	Elevated (n = 221)		Stage I HTN (n = 71)		Stage II HTN (n = 59)
ST (hrs/day)	OR (95% CI)	p-value	OR (95% CI)	p-value	OR (95% CI)	p-value
Model 1 Model 2 Model 3	1.08 (0.99–1.18) 1.09 (0.99–1.19) 1.05 (0.96–1.16)	0.081 0.074 0.311	1.06 (0.99–1.14) 1.06 (0.99–1.14) 1.04 (0.96–1.12)	0.083 0.101 0.323	1.11 (1.00–1.22) 1.12 (1.01–1.24) 1.09 (0.99–1.21)	0.042 0.032 0.095

Odds ratio (OR) represents increased risk of hypertension for each additional hour of ST per day; reference group=elevated blood pressure.

Model 1: adjusts for age, race, education level, current smoking, and anti-hypertensive medication.

Model 2: Model 1 + log-transformed MVPA.

Model 3: Model 2 + BMI.
