Comparison of baseline characteristics of participants with and without incident prehypertension during 9.2 years follow-up. Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS), 2001–2011.

<p>Mean ± SD and median (Inter-quartile range) are shown for continuous variables. BMI: body mass index; WHpR: waist-to-hip-ratio; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; 2h-PCPG: 2-hr post challenge plasma glucose; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; HDL-C: High density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR: Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. The important findings of Table: In both genders, participants who developed incident prehypertension were older, had higher BMI, WHpR, FPG, 2h-PCPG, SBP, DBP, TG, TC and HOMA-IR but lower eGFR.</p><p>*P-value of the comparison between the incident and censored participants in each gender.</p><p>** Dyslipidemia was defined as TG ≥ 1.69 mmol/L or total cholesterol ≥ 6.21 mmol/L or HDL-C < 1.06 mmol/L (men) or HDL-C<1.29 mmol/L (women) or using lipid lowering medications.</p><p>^† Insulin data was available in 2114 participants (men: 819, women: 1295).</p><p>Comparison of baseline characteristics of participants with and without incident prehypertension during 9.2 years follow-up.
