Such effect of the I-allele in lowering the susceptibility of normal WHR subjects to hypertension was highly significant at p = 0.007 with odds ratio (OR) = 17.29 and confidence interval (CI) = 1.813–164.96.

Although DD carriers had apparently higher parameters of blood pressure, lipid profile and insulin resistance, only diastolic blood pressure was almost significant ( p = 0.057).
Groups based on being obese, hypertensive or both had apparently higher frequencies of the DD genotype than controls but such differences did not reach statistical significance.
