^* Indicated p < 0.05;

^**indicated p < 0.005. All the regression models were adjusted for age, sex, BMI, hypertensive status (i.e., hypertensive and normotensive), the use of anti-hypertension medication, duration of hypertension, and status of regular use of alcohol and smoking (i.e., smoker and non-smoker).
