Multivariable-Adjusted Odds Ratios and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for Hypertension among Men and Women*.

*Odds ratios were calculated with the use of binary logit model (Forward conditional). All covariables listed were included in the model simultaneously.†Overweight was defined as a body-mass index between 25.0 and 29.9.‡Obesity was defined as a body-mass index of 30.0 or more.§Central obesity was defined as a waist circumference of 90 cm or more in men and as 80 cm or more in women.¶HOMAIR: Homeostasis of minimal assessment of insulin resistance was calculated from fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and fasting insulin level (FINS) using the following formula; (FPG[mmol/L]×FINS)/22.5.‖‖ IAUC: Insulin area under-curve was calculated from FINS, 0.5-hour insulin level (INS0.5 h) and 2-hour glucose level (INS2 h)in an oral glucose-tolerance test using the following formula; FINS/4+INSlh+3×INS2 h/4.
