Correlation coefficients derived from fractional polynomial regressions for untransformed and linear regression for transformed data. Number of subjects with mean arterial blood pressure: 0 risk alleles: white, n = 65; African American, n = 45. 1 risk allele: African American, 46; 2 risk alleles: African American, 22.

CI, confidence interval; Itc, intimal thickening of arcuate arteries as a percentage of the outer diameter of the artery wall; Itr, intimal thickening of interlobular arteries as a percentage of the outer diameter of the artery wall; MAP, mean arterial blood pressure (mm Hg).
