Association between Plasma Urotensin II and Risk of Hypertension: Findings from a Prospective Study

Table 4

Odds ratios of the risk of hypertension associated with baseline urotensin II levels in two categories.

	Odds ratio (95% confidence interval)
	Quartiles 1–3 (n = 1364)	Quartile 4 (n = 455)
Number of new cases of HTN (%)	551 (40.4)	172 (37.8)
