*Quintiles calculated using principle component analysis of baseline household wealth survey and were calculated at the level of the household.
†Baseline hypertension severity defined by lowest of 3 BP measurements and classified as Grade 1 (BP 140–159/90–99 mm Hg), Grade 2 (BP 160–179/100–109 mm Hg), Grade 3 (BP ≥180/110 mm Hg).
‡BMI categories include underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m2), normal (BMI 18.5–24.9 kg/m2), overweight (BMI 25–29.9 kg/m2), or obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2).
BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; HTN, hypertension.
