  2. Estimates represent the added probability of being hypertensive. Estimates were obtained using linear probability models (LPM) with complex survey weights. All models control for the following (not shown): state fixed effects, nutritional status, wealth index quintile, education, marital status, current pregnancy status, religion, caste, lifetime parity, menopause, tobacco or alcohol use, oral contraceptive use, urban/rural residence, and age group (all-age specification only). aRelative to no birth in adolescence. bRelative to no birth in adolescence. cRelative to no pregnancy in adolescence. dRelative to no child marriage and no birth in adolescence
