A correction of +10/5 mm Hg was added to the blood pressure of participants in receipt of antihypertensive medication. Data are OR for a 1 SD increase in BP measure unless otherwise stated. CI indicates confidence interval; CVD, cardiovascular disease; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; MAP, mean arterial pressure; OR, odds ratio; PP, pulse pressure; and SBP, systolic blood pressure.

^*P for ethnicity×BP interaction.

^†P<0.01.

^‡P<0.001.

^§CVD risk factors comprise: smoking, waist/hip ratio, total/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio, diabetes mellitus, fasting glucose, physical activity, and heart rate.
