TABLE 2.
Hazard ratios for all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality according to DBP levels.
| DBP, mmHg | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outcome | Population | <60 | 60 to <70 | 70 to <80 |
| All‐cause mortality | Total | 1.30 (1.12–1.51) | 1.02 (0.89–1.18) | 1 [Reference] |
| Hypertensive | 1.19 (0.97–1.45) | 0.99 (0.80–1.22) | 1 [Reference] | |
| Cardiovascular mortality | Total | 1.34 (1.00–1.79) | 1.14 (0.87–1.50) | 1 [Reference] |
| Hypertensive | 1.24 (0.81–1.90) | 1.17 (0.79–1.74) | 1 [Reference] | |
The hazard ratio was estimated based on the survey‐weighted Cox model while adjusting for sociodemographic factors (age, gender, race, education, marital status, income level), lifestyle (smoking status, exercise), diseases (hypertension, diabetes, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, chronic kidney disease, cancer), metabolic indices indexes (Body Mass Index, high‐density lipoprotein, uric acid, albumin), and systolic blood pressure.
