A bidirectional eliminated stepwise multivariate logistic regression model fitted with R function “glm,” model with the minimum Akaike information criterion (AIC) was used to calculate the adjusted OR (AOR) and 95% CI, and coefficient of variables was tested by Wald chi‐square test. The stage of hypertension was classified according to JNC 6. Uncontrolled hypertension means systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg; NI, not included in the model.
