In the basic models (Table 2, column 2), lower wealth index (P = 0.045), being single vs. married (P = 0.007), low vs. high adherence to antihypertensive medications (P <0.001), not receiving vs. receiving statins (P <0.001), without vs. with concomitant self-reported heart disease (P = 0.010), higher urine albumin excretion (P < 0.001), higher fasting glucose (P < 0.001), lower eGFR (P = 0.040), and higher serum LDL cholesterol (P = 0.001) were associated with statistically significantly higher odds of uncontrolled BP. The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is heart disorder.
