Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; NW, normal‐weight; OW/OB, overweight/obese. Data were adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) in multiple linear regression models. Change in left ventricular mass (LVM) and left atrial diameter (LAD) represents the amount of change in each dependent variable (LVM, LVM/body surface area [BSA], LVM by height2.7 [LVM/h2.7], LVM by height1.7 [LVM/h1.7], and LAD) from a one‐unit increase in pulse pressure (PP) (24‐hour, daytime, nighttime). Bold values indicate significance.
