Model adjusted for age, sex, SBP and DBP. SBP = systolic blood pressure, DBP = diastolic blood pressure. Hypertension was defined as SBP ≥140 mmHg and/or DBP ≥90 mmHg.

a

cases = number of individuals who were missed hypertension or overidentified hypertension when using 1st blood pressure only, total = number of individuals who were correctly diagnosed as hypertensive of normotensive when using 1st blood pressure only.
