The overweight was defined by as the criteria of Japan Society for the Study of Obesity. Body mass Index (BMI) with from < 25.0 kg/m2 to < 30 kg/m2 was defined as overweight. The 400 patients in each group were classified as having overweight and hypertension or normotension according to values of blood pressure as same threshold with less than 130 mmHg of systolic blood pressure measured in the home (HBP*) and in the clinic (CBP**) at end-point, respectively. Differences in primary and secondary outcomes for events between overweight patients with hypertension and normotension measured at end-point in each group were assessed using survival curves from the Kaplan-Meier method, and comparisons were analyzed using hazard ratio by the log-rank test. CI, confidence interval. Two-tailed values of P < 0.05 were defined as statistically significant
