A total of 28 female and 47 male healthy adult German volunteers (white- and blue-collar workers and students; mean age at enrollment, 31.9 years; SD, 6.4 years) completed the 4-year follow-up (dropouts did not differ significantly from subjects completing the study on the variables of BP, body mass index [BMI or Quetelet index: calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters: weight (kg)/{height (m)}2], alcohol consumption, sex, age, or reactivity to mental arithmetic stress3). The research was approved by the ethics committee at the University of Tübingen, Tübingen, Germany. Home BP was measured with an automatic oscillometric self-inflating device (Sanoquell model 320661; Bosch & Sohn, Jungingen, Germany) morning and evening for 7 days at enrollment, at the 19-month follow-up, and at the 48-month follow-up. Subjects were trained in its use in the laboratory prior to the first and third series of measurements. The medians of each series of 7 evening measurements were analyzed.
