Values show the mean (SE) adjusted for baseline age in ANCOVA model. BMI indicates body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HDL‐C, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; Ln‐triglycerides, natural logarithm of triglyceride; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; and WC, waist circumference.

*

P values were adjusted by Bonferroni method and show the statistical difference between those with and without hypertension.

P value shows the significance of interaction term of sex by hypertension status in ANCOVA model adjusted for baseline age.

P value shows the significance of interaction term of sex by hypertension status in ANCOVA model adjusted for baseline age, smoking status, physical activity level, and family history of cardiovascular disease.
