  1. BP Blood Pressure; CI confidence interval. BP classification: normotension (SBP < 120 mmHg and DBP < 80 mmHg); prehypertension (SBP of 120-139 mmHg or DBP of 80-89 mmHg); stage 1 hypertension (SBP of 140-159 mmHg or DBP of 90-99 mmHg); stage 2 hypertension (SBP ≥ 160 mmHg or DBP ≥ 100 mmHg)
  2. Diabetes was defined as self-reported current treatment with insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents; overweight was defined as BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and obesity as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2
  3. Prevalence odds ratios were calculated with the use of multivariate logistic regression models. All variables listed were included in the model simultaneously, adjusted by age and sex
