Increase in incidence (top) and adjusted risk (bottom) of new-onset sustained hypertension (SH), new-onset echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), new-onset diabetes mellitus (DM), and a new-onset impaired fasting glucose (IFG) state in the PAMELA (Pressioni Arteriose Monitorate e Loro Associazioni) population sample 10 y after the initial survey. Data from normotensive (N), white-coat hypertensive (WCH), and limited to new LVH, DM, and IFG, from SH subjects. New LVH was identified by a left ventricular mass index >99 g/m² in women and >114 g/m² in men according to the body surface area; IFG was identified by a blood glucose ≥100 mg/dL, DM by a blood glucose ≥126 mg/dL or antidiabetic drug treatment and SH by addition of out-of-office to office BP elevation. Risk and P refer to age- and sex-adjusted data. Adj OR indicates adjusted odds ratio; and OR, odds ratio. Data derived from Mancia et al.^21–23
