  1. Hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg or use of antihypertensive medications
  2. BMI body mass index, CI confidence interval, OR odds ratio, RDI respiratory disturbance index
  3. aAdjusted for age (years)
  4. bAdjusted for age (years), BMI (kg/m2) and smoking status (nonsmokers, 1–20 or ≥20 cigarettes/day)
  5. cFurther adjusted for RDI (events/h)
