Relations between white coat effect of blood pressure and arterial stiffness

  FIGURE 1. Flowchart of the sample. ABPM, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; BP, blood pressure; PWV, pulse wave velocity; FBG, fasting blood glucose; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; HDL, high‐density lipoprotein; LDL, low‐density lipoprotein; Cr, creatinine; UA, uric acid; WCESBP, white coat effect in systolic blood pressure; OSBP, office systolic blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure

  FIGURE 2. Smooth curve fitting of relationship between systolic WCE and b‐a PWV. The solid line and dashed line represent the estimated values and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Only 95% of the data is displayed. Vertical bar graphs Indicate sample size. Adjusted for age, sex, BP phenotypes, diabetes history, hyperlipidemia, family history of HTN, smoking history, BMI, FBG, TC, TG, HDL, LDL, Cr, UA, day SBP, day HR

  FIGURE 3. Forest plot of the effect size of WCESBP ≥9.5 mmHg on b‐a PWV in each subgroup. Some of the comparisons had wide CIs, reflecting relatively few individuals in some of the groups. age(<53 years, 53∼62 years, 62∼72 years, ≥72 years), sex (female or male), BP phenotypes (normotension, WCH, WUCH, untreated SHT, SUCH, CHT), diabetes (absence or presence), hyperlipidemia (absence or presence), family history of HTN (absence or presence), smoking history (absence or presence); Adjusted for age, sex, BP phenotypes, diabetes history, hyperlipidemia, family history of HTN, smoking history, BMI, FBG, TC, TG, HDL, LDL, Cr, UA, day SBP, day HR
