One-way ANOVA confirmed highly significant differences in systolic BP (F = 18.358; p < 0.001), diastolic BP (F = 37.893; p < 0.001), and MAP (F = 68.652; p < 0.001) across MAP groups, validating the grouping methodology.

marginal significancep = 0.025actually significant

Equivalent exploratory stepwise regression models using left CIMT and mean CIMT as dependent variables confirmed that no predictor met the entry criterion for left CIMT, and sex showed only marginal significance for mean CIMT ( p = 0.025), consistent with the weaker and non-significant anthropometric correlations observed for left CIMT in Table 3 .
