### Associations of Hypertension with Anthropometric and Body Composition Indices
Among all the variables, WHtR (AUC = 0.638 [0.610-0.666]) presented strong identification power in men, whereas age (AUC = 0.645 [0.618-0.673]) showed the highest AUC value in women. TF, TBFWH, and TBF exhibited strong identification power among the body fat mass indicators in men (AUC = 0.630 [0.602-0.6  
Comparison of Anthropometric and Body Composition Indices in Patients with Both Hypertension and Stroke  
Tables 5 and 6 show the association of anthropometric and body composition indices with hypertension + stroke in Korean men and women. Overall, 2.6% (N = 69) of 2661 participants had both hypertension and stroke. The prevalence of hypertension + stroke was higher in men than in women (3.7% and 1.3%, respectively). In men, among all the variables, age (\(p\) < 0.0001, OR = 2.156 [1.644-2.828]) presented the strongest association with hypertension + stroke in crude analysis. LABMD (adjusted \(p\) = 0.0031, adjusted OR = 0.504 [0.320-0.793]) showed the strongest negative association with hypertension + stroke following confounding factor adjustment. Among the anthropometric indices, WHtR (\(p\) < 0.0001, OR = 1.797 [1.382-2.336]; adjusted \(p\) = 0.0217, adjusted OR = 1.689 [1.080-2.641]) exhibited the strongest association with hypertension + stroke in both crude and adjusted analyses; WC and BMI were also associated (\(p\) = 0.0026, OR = 1.519 [1.157-1.993]; \(p\) = 0.0336, OR = 1.329 [1.022-1.728]). Among the body fat mass variables, TF (\(p\) = 0.0265, OR = 1.506 [1.049-2.162]) showed the highest association with hypertension + stroke, followed by TBFWH (\(p\) = 0.0257, OR = 1.495 [1.050-2.128]) in crude analysis. However, these associations disappeared following adjustment for confounders. Among the BMD variables, LABMD (\(p\) < 0.0001, OR = 0.542 [0.396-0.742]; adjusted \(p\) = 0.0031, adjusted OR = 0.504 [0.320-0.793]) was the best indicator of hypertension + stroke in the crude and adjusted analysis. The right arm BMD (RABMD) and right leg BMD (RLBMD) were also shown to be associated in crude (\(p\) < 0.0001, OR = 0.531 [0.384-0.735]; \(p\) = 0.0078, OR = 0.0078 [0.570-0.862]) and adjusted analyses (adjusted \(p\) = 0.0054, adjusted OR = 0.528 [0.337-0.0827]; adjusted \(p\) = 0.0117, adjusted OR = 0.537 [0.331-0.870]). In women, among all variables, age (\(p\) < 0.0001, OR = 2.097 [1.588-2.770]) also presented the strongest association with hypertension + stroke in crude analysis. Among the anthropometric variables, HT (\(p\) < 0.0001, OR = 0.607 [0.474-0.778]), in particular, was negatively associated with hypertension + stroke; WHtR (\(p\) = 0.0008, OR = 1.564 [1.204-2.031]) was associated with hypertension + stroke in crude analysis, although both associations disappeared following adjustment for confounders. Notably, among the body fat mass variables, LLF (adjusted \(p\) = 0.0036, adjusted OR = 0.391 [0.208-0.734]) and RLF (adjusted \(p\) = 0.0211, adjusted OR = 0.460 [0.237-0.890]) only showed association with

Among the BMD indices, PlvBMD and LLBMD exhibited negative association with hypertension + stroke in crude analysis (\(p\) = 0.0161, OR = 0.593 [0.387-0.907]; \(p\) = 0.0445, OR = 0.542 [0.298-0.985]), although these associations disappeared following adjustment for confounders. In both men and women, age presented the strongest association with hypertension + stroke upon crude analysis. In the results of the adjusted analysis, WHtR was associated in men but not in women. The results of the body composition and anthropometric indices association analysis with hypertension + stroke also differed according to men and women. Adjusted for age, body mass index (BMI), alcohol consumption, smoking, income, recognized stress rate, and education level. The results are from crude and adjusted analyses by binary logistic regression.
