Imputed (n=1533 for all models—with valid outcome and SBP at age 60–64 years). The variable β is regression coefficient for e′ versus SBP (mm Hg) or antihypertensive treatment (HTT). Model 1: adjusted for age sex and CRF attended. Model 2: model 1+antihypertensive treatment (HTT) at given age (for SBP) or model 1+SBP at given age (for HTT). Model 3: model 2+SBP at 60–64 years. Model 4: model 3+T2DM+BMI+smoking status+physical activity status. Model 5: model 4+left ventricular mass indexed to body surface area. Numbers of individuals receiving HTT were 51 (2%), 107 (3%), 438 (15%) and 640 (27%) at age 36, 43, 53 and 60–64 years, respectively.

BMI, body mass index; CRF, clinical research facility; NR, not relevant; SBP, systolic blood pressure; T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus.
