  1. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), smoker status obtained from medical questionnaire
  2. HIV status obtained from medical questionnaire. If previously tested, participants were asked their status; those who did not know their status, or previously tested negative, were offered voluntary counselling and testing during the home screening (see methods)
  3. Measured blood pressure (BP): see methods
  4. PPV: positive predictive value
  5. NPV: negative predictive value
