The data are presented in the form of M ± SD or Me (LQ, UQ); p_1-2 represents the significance of differences between the women of Groups 1 and 2; asterisks show the significance level of the differences between the daytime and nighttime monitoring periods (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01); SBP stands for systolic blood pressure; PBP indicates pulse blood pressure; CASP is central aortic systolic pressure; CAPP is central aortic pulse pressure; AIxao is aortic augmentation index; PPA represents pulse pressure amplification
