Correlations Between BMI and ABPM Parameters After Adjusting for Age and Sex in Untreated Patients and for Age, Sex, TIS, and BP Control in Treated Patients
| Change in BP (95% CI) | Beta | P Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Untreated | |||
| 24‐h PP | 0.40 (0.21/0.60) | 0.169 | <.001 |
| Daytime PP | 0.40 (0.20/0.60) | 0.151 | <.001 |
| Nighttime PP | 0.43 (0.22/0.63) | 0.167 | <.001 |
| Treated | |||
| Nighttime SBP | 0.31 (0.16/0.46) | 0.093 | <.001 |
| Nighttime DBP | −0.03 (−0.7/0.13) | −0.005 | ns |
| Nighttime PP | 0.28 (0.16/0.40) | 0.111 | <.001 |
| Night‐to‐day ratio | 0.25 (0.17/0.32) | 0.168 | <.001 |
Abbreviations: ABPM, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; CI, confidence interval; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; ns, not significant; PP, pulse pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure. Data were adjusted for age and sex (for untreated) and for age, sex, treatment intensity score (TIS), and blood pressure (BP) control (for treated) in multiple linear regression models. Change in BP represents the amount of change in BPs in mm Hg (on the average) from a one‐unit increase in body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2). Bold values indicate significance.
