Carotid IMT augment and the percentage of plaque formation in residents with normotension, prehypertesion, and hypertension in term of JNC-7 classification. The blood pressures were divided into normotension, prehypertension, and hypertension groups. cIMT represents mean intima-media thickness of bilateral carotid arteries. ** versus normotension, p < 0.001 A. Mean carotid IMT (cIMT) in residents with normotension, prehypertesion, and hypertension in term of JNC-7 classification. B. Carotid plaque formation in residents with normotension, prehypertesion, and hypertension in term of JNC-7 classification.
