UNASSIGNED: @entity101 ( @entity101 ) and @entity19430 ( @entity19430 ) are associated with organ damage. In the present study, we examined the correlation between the magnitude of white-coat effect (WCE) or reverse WCE (RWCE) and 24-h pulse pressure (PP), an indicator of target organ damage and arterial stiffness, in @entity1 and young adults. We also examined the relationship of WCE or RWCE and blood pressure (BP) variability, another predictor of clinical outcomes. One hundred and ninety-eight subjects were studied. According to the office BP and ambulatory BP, they were divided into normotension, @entity19430 , @entity101 , and @entity101 . The magnitude of WCE or RWCE, along with male gender and 24-h systolic BP, was the determinant of 24-h PP. In subjects with 24-h PP  >=   61  mmHg, the magnitude of WCE or RWCE, age, male ratio, height, weight, BMI, the percentage of secondary @entity101 , that of @entity101 , office systolic BP, and 24-h systolic BP were significantly greater. There was a progressive increase in 24-h PP from normotension, @entity19430 , @entity101 , to @entity101 . BP variability in subjects with @entity101 was numerically highest in both systolic and diastolic. Diastolic BP variability of @entity19430 , @entity101 , and @entity101 was significantly higher than that of normotension. Finally, the magnitude of WCE or RWCE in systolic showed a significant correlation with systolic BP variability. In conclusion, the magnitude of WCE or RWCE correlates with 24-h PP and systolic BP variability, which may suggest increased arterial stiffness in @entity19430 and @entity101 .
