Factors associated with blood pressure (BP) levels. Panels a-c: V-plots generated from continuous PLS models for a systolic BP, b diastolic BP and c presence of elevated blood pressure. Influential predictors (VIP > 1.4) are named. Correlation coefficients were scaled and centered. Analyses accounted for the variability in age, sex, BMI, asthma and smoking. d Unpaired t-test comparing circulating AhR+ monocytes in a subset of participants (n = 5 per group) for both systolic BP (monocyte mean = 5.2 for low SBP vs 7.0 for high SBP) and diastolic BP (monocyte mean = 9.8 for low DBP vs 13.7 for high DBP)
