Baseline characteristics of the study population.
| High-normal | Normotensive (n = 35) | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dipper (n = 87) | Nondipper (n = 59) | P | P1 | P1 | P2 | |
| Age (years) | 30 ± 6 | 31 ± 6 | >0.05 | 31 ± 6 | >0.05 | >0.05 |
| Family history | 26 | 30 | >0.05 | 12 | >0.05 | >0.05 |
| BMI (kg/m2) | 22.6 ± 2.8 | 22.6 ± 2.9 | >0.05 | 20.9 ± 2.3 | >0.05 | >0.05 |
| FBG (mmol/L) | 0.90 ± 0.42 | 4.83 ± 0.83 | >0.05 | 4.8 ± 0.29 | >0.05 | >0.05 |
| TG (mmol/L) | 1.0 ± 0.3 | 1.5 ± 0.8 | >0.05 | 0.9 ± 0.4 | >0.05 | >0.05 |
| TC (mmol/L) | 4.5 ± 0.7 | 4.4 ± 0.6 | >0.05 | 4.0 ± 0.6 | >0.05 | >0.05 |
| HDL-C (mmol/L) | 1.3 ± 0.3 | 1.1 ± 0.3 | <0.05 | 1.3 ± 0.3 | <0.05 | <0.05 |
| LDL-C (mmol/L) | 3.0 ± 0.7 | 2.7 ± 0.6 | <0.05 | 2.1 ± 0.6 | <0.05 | <0.05 |
P1 represents the p value of normotensive and dipper; P2 represents the p value of normotensive and nondipper. It is easier to find HDL-C and LDL-C have p < 0.05 which is considered as statistically significant.
