摘要：quantile. Arm circumference also had a positive effect on DBP and SBP across all quantiles in both settings. Age had an increasing positive effect along the entire conditional DBP and SBP distribution in both settings. Women who were pregnant had lower DBP and SBP relative to those who were not pregnant in both settings. These results highlight the important drivers of DBP and SBP, and the differential effects of these drivers on blood pressure (BP) among women in urban and rural settings. To increase their effectiveness, interventions to address high BP should take into account these differential effects.
