Association of blood pressure categories assessed at the health survey and at the baseline of the cardiovascular observation study with cardiovascular mortality

(A–D) Forest plots represent hazard ratios with a 95% confidence interval of Cox regression analyses for the association between cardiovascular death and BP categories assessed at the health survey (HS; A + C) or the observation study (OS; B + D). Categories were built according to ACC/AHA (A + B) or ESC/ESH guidelines (C + D).
