Forest plot of HRs (95% CIs) per 20/10 mm Hg increase in systolic (black) or diastolic (grey) blood pressure, adjusted for age and sex

The vertical dashed lines correspond to the associations of SBP (black) or DBP (grey) with total cardiovascular disease. Adjustments include age, quadratic age, and stratification by sex and primary care practice. CIs are Bonferroni corrected (13 endpoints × 2 variables=26 tests). HR=hazard ratio. SBP=systolic blood pressure. DBP=diastolic blood pressure.
