  1. *Statistically significant P < 0.05. Regardless of taking antihypertensive drugs or not. SBP ≥ 140 mmHg and/or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg and/or current use of antihypertensive drugs. §Included in analysis only those women not pharmacologically treated for hypertension.
  2. SBP: Systolic blood pressure. DBP: diastolic blood pressure. BMI: Body mass index. HDL: High density lipoprotein. CVD: Cardiovascular disease (= a current or past diagnosis of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction or cerebral stroke).
