Incidence of the composite cardiovascular (CV) end point (A) and fatal combined with nonfatal cardiac events (B) in 4 categories of the ambulatory blood pressure. Incidence was standardized to the sex distribution (46.6% women) and mean age (50.8 years) in the whole study population. For each blood pressure category, the number of subjects at risk is given at the beginning of each 4-year interval. The time axis was curtailed at 16 years when ≈10% of participants were still being followed up. Tables III and IV in the online-only Data Supplement provide more detailed information by 2-year intervals up to 22 years on the number of participants at risk, the number of events, and the number of participants no longer followed up. Vertical bars denote the standard error. P values are for the differences across the 4 blood pressure categories.
