Bold values indicate p < 0.05
1The statistical significance of differences between men and women was estimated using the Mann–Whitney test.
2The statistical significance of differences between age groups was estimated using the Kruskal–Wallis test. Differences between age groups are statistically significant at *p < 0.05 and ***p < 0.001 (multiple comparisons by Dunn test). ##p < 0.01; ###p < 0.001 – The statistical significance of differences between normotensive and hypertensive subjects within each corresponding age group.
