Data are mean (SD) or percent, unless otherwise indicated. SD is from the unadjusted distribution. BP, blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
*P value from a simple χ2 or Student t test after adjustment for age and sex where appropriate.
†Blood pressure categories: normal, SBP <120 and DBP <80 mmHg and not using antihypertensive medication; prehypertension, not hypertension and SBP 120–139 or DBP 80–89 mmHg; hypertension, SBP ≥140, DBP ≥90 mmHg, or using antihypertensive medication. P values provided reflect the distribution of the three blood pressure categories between the two age-groups within each race.
‡Means and SD from the untransformed distribution. Student t test P value is from the natural log–transformed distribution.
