Mediation analysis of the Black–White difference in incident hypertension, JNC7 definition of hypertension.CRP is log-transformed. 95% CI is estimated by bootstrapping with 1,000 models. BMI was not included for males because it was not related to the sex-specific race differences in hypertension in REGARDS.3 The analytical subpopulations were 3,539 (F) and 3,009 (M) for the base model, 3,509 (F) and 3,007 (M) for the model adding waist circumference ± BMI, 3,539 (F) and 3,009 (M) for the model adding income and education, 3,520 (F) and 2,997 (M) for the model adding ASA, statin, and metformin use, 2,921 (F) and 2,400 (M) for the model adding dietary patterns, and 2,883 (F) and 2,389 (M) for the fully adjusted model. Abbreviations: ASA, aspirin; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; CRP, C-reactive protein; DASH, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension; JNC 7, Joint National Commission 7; Na:K, sodium-to-potassium dietary ratio; PA, physical activity; SDS, Southern diet score; Waist, waist circumference.
