Higher total glucocorticoid production was associated with abnormal glucose tolerance and increased BMI. During this study, systolic blood pressure increased (equivalent to \u223c1\u200ammHg\/year), as did plasma sodium levels; this evidence of increased mineralocorticoid activity was associated with
