a The association between glycemic state and hypertension stratified by obesity among Mexican Americans in Starr County, Texas demonstrating a driving role of overt diabetes. Above each bar are the numbers of individuals hypertensive over the number of total individuals in said glycemia by weight category. p values are those obtained via logistic regression testing the hypothesis that glycemia (normal, prediabetes or diabetes) is a significant predictor of hypertension within each weight strata while adjusting for age and sex. b The association between moderate or more severe sleep apnea (AHI ≥ 15) and glycemic state stratified by obesity among Mexican Americans in Starr County, Texas (NGT normal glucose tolerance, Pre prediabetes, Diabetes type 2 diabetes). Above each bar are the numbers of individuals in each sleep apnea category over the number of total individuals in said glycemia by weight strata. p values are those obtained from ordinal logistic regression testing the hypothesis that glycemia is a significant predictor of sleep apnea (as an ordinal variable of none, mild, moderate and severe) within each weight strata while adjusting for age and sex
