Risk curves for systolic and diastolic blood pressure measured at the health survey and at the cardiovascular observation study

(A–D) Risk curves are calculated for BP at the HS and the baseline of the OS according to loess (locally weighted scatterplot smoother) fitting with 95% confidence intervals. It depicts the association of systolic BP with cardiovascular mortality (A), of systolic BP with overall mortality (B), of diastolic BP with cardiovascular mortality (C), and of diastolic BP with overall mortality (D).
