Table 4 Participants both in HUNT1, HUNT2 and HUNT3, reporting they had never used antihypertensive medication. Linear regression models with association between delta DBP (change in DBP from HUNT2 to HUNT3, i.e., DBP in HUNT2 minus DBP in HUNT3) and relevant confounders: Age, delta BMI (BMI in HUNT2 minus BMI at HUNT3), delta Se-cholesterol (total cholesterol at HUNT2 minus total cholesterol at HUNT3), delta heart rate (HR) (HR at HUNT2 minus HR at HUNT3), self-reported myocardial infarction (MI) (at HUNT3), delta smoking (pack years in HUNT2 minus pack years in HUNT3), self-reported diabetes (at HUNT3) (Yes = 1, No = 0) and education level (Low = 1, High = 5)
