Model 1 = univariate association of AHI with eBP. Model 2 = multivariable association of AHI with eBP, adjusting for sex, race/ethnicity, age, tonsillar hypertrophy, adenotonsillectomy, antihypertensive and cardiac medication use, and visceral adipose tissue (z score). Model 3 = multivariable association of AHI with eBP, adjusting for sex, race/ethnicity, age, tonsillar hypertrophy, adenotonsillectomy, antihypertensive and cardiac medication use, and metabolic syndrome risk score (z score).
