Helvacı et al. (2007) conducted a cross-sectional in White coat hypertension (n=521). Overweight (Increased Body Mass Index) vs. Normal weight and underweight was evaluated on Prevalence of white coat hypertension (p=<0.001). The prevalence of white coat hypertension significantly increased with body mass index, rising from 19.6% in underweight subjects to 35.6% in normal weight and 68.4% in overweight subjects.
