Values are relative risk ratio (95% confidence interval) obtained from multinomial logistic regression models, unless otherwise indicated. In all models, “alive without hypertension” is the base outcome.

*

Model 1 is adjusted for age.

Model 2 is adjusted for the covariates in Mode1 and socio-demographics (gender, region, social isolation) + medical conditions (history of CVD, history of stroke, high cholesterol, diabetes, statin use, insulin use) + functional status (physical and mental component summary from the Short Form-12 instrument) + health behaviors (alcohol use, smoking status, physical activity, Mediterranean diet).

Model 3 is adjusted for the covariates in Model 2 and physiologic and laboratory characteristics (body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, log transformed C-reactive protein, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, and estimated glomerular filtration rate).
