  1. Model 1 was unadjusted. Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, family history of hypertension. Model 3 was adjusted for body mass index, heart rate and bust at baseline on model 2
  2. AS arterial stiffness, LVH left ventricular hypertrophy
  3. aNormotension group was defined in childhood as SBP and DBP ≤90th percentile with the use of the BPRS tables (Blood Pressure Reference Standard Tables of Chinese children aged 3–17 years old) for age, sex, and height or SBP/DBP <120/80 mm Hg
  4. bPrehypertension group was classified in childhood if SBP or DBP were ≥90th percentile and <95th percentile with the use of the BPRS tables for age, sex, and height or SBP/DBP >120/80 mm Hg
  5. cHypertension group was classified in childhood if SBP or DBP were ≥95th percentile with the use of the BPRS tables for age, sex, and height
