Lifetime risk (%) of heart failure according to age attained free of heart failure and prevalent hypertension

	Lifetime risk (95% CI)*
	All subjects (n=20,900)	Normotensive subjects (n=15,966)	Hypertensive subjects (n=4,934)
	(Total deaths: 5673)	(Total deaths: 3506)	(Total deaths: 2167)
Age (y)	(Heart failure: 1200)	(Heart failure: 711)	(Heart failure: 489)
40	13.79 (12.85–14.73)	12.34 (11.15–13.52)	16.77 (15.23–18.31)
50	13.78 (12.83–14.78)	12.31 (11.12–13.50)	16.82 (15.28–18.37)

80	10.58 (9.42–11.74)	9.64 (8.21–11.07)	11.99 (10.06–13.92)

^*Lifetime risk is the mortality–adjusted cumulative risk conditional on disease-free survival to the age specified CI denotes confidence interval
