	Rho	P value
Office SBP, mm Hg	0.49	0.02
24-hour SBP	0.56	0.03
Sleep SBP	0.69	0.005
Wake SBP	0.54	0.03
SLEDAI, score	−0.13	0.57
SLICC, score	0.15	0.52
eGFR	−0.67	0.001
HOMA-IR, units	−0.29	0.19

Twenty-four-hour SBP, sleep SBP and wake SBP included 15 patients with SLE. The remaining measures include 23 patients with SLE.

eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HOMA-IR, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance; IMAT, intermuscular adipose tissue; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SLEDAI, SLE Disease Activity Index; SLICC, Systemic Lupus Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index.
