Association between baseline ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure levels and progression of WMH by binary logistic regression analysis.

Results binary logistic regression analysis presented as OR per 10 mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) or 5 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Model 1 adjusted for age, gender and vascular risk factors (diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia and smoking). Model 2 adjusted for age, gender and baseline white matter hyperintensities. OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; WMH: white matter hyperintensities; 24-h BP: 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure;*pAssociation between baseline ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure levels and progression of WMH by binary logistic regression analysis.
