Blood pressure research question

Hello, I am a student majoring in biomedical in Korea. I would like to conduct a study to determine whether a random object is hypertension or not using features of PPG waveforms during sleep. But there was a problem. I received the database, but I don't know where the subject's BP data is, and I couldn't find any related variables. We would like to analyze the PPG data of sleeping hypertension patients, which is the first in the research order, but we don't know which subject is hypertension. Can you give me some advice on this?

Are you referring to the MESA dataset (https://sleepdata.org/datasets/mesa/)? Blood pressure data were not shared with NSRR. They can be requested through the MESA Coordinating Center (https://mesa-nhlbi.org/).
