  1. The recorded blood pressure values were retrieved directly from the Israeli Defense Forces Registry. BMI adjusted values of SBP and DBP were calculated by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) using a general linear model
  2. BMI body mass index (weight in kilograms divided by height squared in meters); SBP systolic blood pressure (mm/Hg); DBP diastolic blood pressure; SD standard deviation
