  1. Values are mean ± SD. SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; PAC = plasma aldosterone concentration; PRA = plasma renin activity; Log PAC = log-transformed plasma aldosterone concentration; Log PRA = log-transformed plasma renin activity; Log ARR = log-transformed aldosterone to renin ratio; baPWV = brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; haPWV: = heart-ankle pulse wave velocity.
