Values are shown as Pearson's correlation coefficient r [95% confidence intervals (CI)] values. Adjusted estimates accounted for sex, age, overweight (BMI ≥25 kg/m2), current smoking and drinking, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, cardiovascular diseases history, clinic sites, and defined daily doses. Evening home blood pressures (BPs) were not fully measured in 12 patients; they were thus excluded from the corresponding analysis. Unattended and attended denote unattended office BP and conventionally measured attended office BP, respectively.
