Abbreviations: ABPM, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; CI, confidence interval; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; ns, not significant; NW, normal‐weight; OW/OB, overweight/obese; PP, pulse pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure. Data were adjusted for age and sex in multiple linear regression models. Change in blood pressure (BP) represents the amount of change in each BP in mm Hg (on the average) from a one‐unit increase in body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2). Bold values indicate significance.
