Odds ratios of hypertension (≥140/≥90 mmHg or drug treatment for
hypertension) according to quartiles of plasma levels of baseline IL-1β and IL-1ra.
| Variable | Quartile of plasma level | P for linearity* | I | II | III | IV |
| IL-1β | | | | | | Median (range), pg/mL | 0.25 (0.088–0.378) | 0.48 (0.379–0.566) | 0.63 (0.567–0.696) | 0.82 (0.700–5.540) | | Odds ratio (95% CI) | 1.00 | 1.47 (0.79 to 2.73) | 0.83 (0.43 to 1.58) | 1.55 (0.84 to 2.89) | .46 |
| IL-1ra | | | | | | Median (range), pg/mL | 84 (46–98) | 117 (99–139) | 163 (140–192) | 244 (193–1134) | | Odds ratio (95% CI) | 1.00 | 0.61 (0.31 to 1.20) | 1.07 (0.56 to 2.04) | 1.82 (0.95 to 3.46) | .026 |

*P-values were calculated by using a logistic
model, adjusted for gender, age, follow-up time, and baseline body mass index.
