Figure 1. Scatter plots of the relationship between timing adherence and systolic or diastolic blood pressure. (A) Mean systolic blood pressure±SD (upper panel) was 147.9±19.1 mmHg, (B) mean diastolic blood pressure (lower panel) was 82.3±10.1 mmHg.

Figure 2. Distribution of timing adherence measured by MEMS in 216 individuals (follow-up rate 90%). Mean adherence in the whole sample 88%±17 (range 6–100). Frequency denotes number of participants.
