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

Table 5

Odds ratios of risk of hypertension associated with baseline urotensin II levels by strata of endothelin-1 levels.

	Endothelin-1 <1.56 pg/ml (n = 1357)		Endothelin-1 ≥1.56 pg/ml (n = 452)
	Urotensin II < P75	Urotensin II ≥ P75	Urotensin II < P75	Urotensin II ≥ P75
Model 1^a	1.000	0.914 (0.707–1.180)	1.000	0.928 (0.595–1.449)
Model 2^b	1.000	0.847 (0.635–1.129)	1.000	1.012 (0.609–1.684)
Model 3^c	1.000	0.846 (0.634–1.129)	1.000	1.027 (0.615–1.712)
Model 4^d	1.000	0.866 (0.647–1.159)	1.000	0.987 (0.587–1.660)
