  Figure 1. Blood pressure in men and women according to nine HDL-C concentration categories. With HDL-C concentrations of 20–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, 70–79, 80–89, 90–99, 100–109, 110–119, and ≥120 mg/dL, n = 57,052, 193,722, 235,749, 171,612, 95,359, 45,195, 19,204, 7624, and 5152 for men and 6800, 44,379, 112,421, 160,350, 148,963, 99,424, 52,858, 22,886, and 14,402 for women, respectively. Open circle expresses mean of blood pressure in each HDL-C concentration category. Solid line and dashed line express quadratic regression curve and 95%CIs. a, 20–39; b, 40–49; c, 50–59; d, 60–69; e, 70–79; f, 80–89; g, 90–99; h, 100–109; i, ≥110 mg/dL. (A): Systolic blood pressure in men; (B): Systolic blood pressure in women; (C): Diastolic blood pressure in men; (D): Diastolic blood pressure in women; (E): Pulse pressure in men; (F): Pulse pressure in women.

  Figure 2. Odds ratios of nine HDL-C concentration categories for HBP. Closed blue circle: unadjusted. Closed green diamond: adjusted for age, sex (whole subjects), smoking, pharmacotherapy (for diabetes mellitus or dyslipidemia), habitual exercise, and daily alcohol consumption. Open red square: plus adjusted for body mass index and serum concentration of triglyceride A, 20–39; B, 40–49; C, 50–59; D, 60–69; E, 70–79; F, 80–89; G, 90–99; H, 100–109; I, ≥110 mg/dL.

  Figure 3. Odds ratios of nine HDL-C concentration categories for HBP in subjects who hardly consumed alcohol. Closed blue circle: unadjusted. Closed green diamond: adjusted for age, sex (whole subjects), smoking, pharmacotherapy (for diabetes mellitus or dyslipidemia), habitual exercise, and daily alcohol consumption. Open red square: plus adjusted for body mass index and serum concentration of triglyceride A, 20–39; B, 40–49; C, 50–59; D, 60–69; E, 70–79; F, 80–89; G, 90–99; H, 100–109; I, ≥110 mg/dL.
