SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure. ADL: activities of daily living
: Covariates include: age, gender, race, BMI, education level, smoking status, physical activity, diabetes mellitus, arthritis and cardiovascular disease
: β is the slope of change in functional measure per 10 mm Hg change in systolic or diastolic blood pressure
