Note. Obesity is defined as body mass index of 30 or more. Hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure or 140 mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher or treatment.

aObesity in men. Low: slope = -0.003, P = .995; medium: slope = -0.72, P = .15; high: slope = 0.79, P = .023; interaction P = .039

bObesity in women. Low: slope = 0.69, P = .21; medium: slope = 0.03, P = .93; high: slope = -0.02, P = .97; interaction P = .53

cHypertension in men. Low: slope = -0.82, P = .19; medium: slope = -2.30, P = .0009; high: slope = -1.89, P = .0001; interaction P = .24

dHypertension in women. Low: slope = -1.34, P = .091; medium: slope = -1.08, P = .015; high: slope = -1.46, P = .013; interaction P = .87
