  1. Adjusted odds ratios were calculated using age, BMI, family history of hypertension, and alcohol intake for each age group. The adjusted ORs for hypertension in women with a history of HDP tended to be higher in younger age groups, the adjusted OR in 30–50s was 1.88 (1.57–2.26) and that in 60s≤ was 1.51 (1.32–1.74) (p for interaction = 0.057)

  3. aThe prevalence of HT is significantly higher in the HDP+ group than in the HDP− group in all age groups except for patients in their 20s (p < 0.01). Fisher’s exact test was used for patients in their 30s. The chi-square test was used in the other age groups
