Figure 2

Cognitive score as a bivariate function of systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Predicted cognitive scores are based on the semiparametric mixed effects regression model while adjusting for sex, age, body mass index, education level, antihypertensive medications, alcohol use, smoking status and history of medical conditions. Color-coding depicts relatively higher (light grey) and lower (dark) cognitive scores.
