We used natural splines to examine the association of systemic and organ-specific measures of metabolic stress including body mass index, hemoglobin A1c, hepatic FIB-4 (Fibrosis-4) score, and CKD-EPI estimated glomerular filtration rate with systolic blood pressure (SBP). Piecewise linear models were generated using normal value thresholds (body mass index &lt;25 kg\/m\n              <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n              , hemoglobin A1c &lt;5.7%, FIB-4 &lt;1.3, and estimated glomerular filtration rate \u226590 mL\/min), which approximated observed spline break points. The primary outcome was an increase in SBP in association with increase in each metabolic measure.\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              Women compared with men demonstrated larger magnitudes and an earlier onset of increase in SBP per increment increase across all metabolic stress measures. The slope of SBP increase per increment of each metabolic measure was greater for women than men particularly for metabolic measures within the normal range, with slope differences of 1.86 mm\u2005Hg per kg\/m\n              <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n              of body mass index, 12.48 mm\u2005Hg per %hemoglobin A1c, 6.87 mm\u2005Hg per FIB-4 unit, and 0.44 mm\u2005Hg per mL\/min decrement of estimated glomerular filtration rate in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cohort (\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              difference &lt;0.05 for all).
