Figure 1. MMSE score from age 85 to 90 years dependent on tertiles of NT-proBNP and tertiles of systolic blood pressure.

Figure 1

NT-proBNP (A) and systolic blood pressure (B) were divided in equal tertiles. Data points represent estimates, calculated using linear mixed models, with adjustment for sex and level of education. Range of values per tertile: low NT-proBNP = 20.8–200.9 pg/mL; medium NT-proBNP = 202.7–549.3 pg/mL; high NT-proBNP = 552.9–28,362.7 pg/mL; low systolic blood pressure = 110.0–146.5 mm Hg; medium systolic blood pressure = 147.0–161.5 mm Hg; high systolic blood pressure = 162.0–215.0 mm Hg. BP = blood pressure; MMSE = Mini-Mental State Examination; NT-proBNP = N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide.
