Clinical characteristics of obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on
blood pressure measured at basal point were shown. The obesity was
defined by the criteria using of body mass index (BMI) of Japan Society for the
Study of Obesity. BMI with ≧ 25.0 kg/m2 was defined as obesity. Blood
pressure using clinic blood pressure (CBP) and home blood pressure (HBP)
measured once in each clinic visit and in the same morning at each clinic visit
within 10 minutes after awakening in the sitting position were measured at
basal point as shown as the same threshold of normotension with less than 130
mmHg of systolic blood pressure measurements in morning HBP and CBP. Two tailed
values of P < 0.05 were defined as statistically significant.
Abbreviation: HT: Hypertension, NT: Normotension.
