Figure 1. Adjusted* Odds Ratio (95% confidence interval) for Prevalent Elevated hs-cTnT (≥14 ng/L), according to baseline Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) with background histogram of DBP distribution in the study sample.

*Adjusted for: age (years), race-center, gender, body mass index in kg/m2, smoking (current; former; never), alcohol intake (current; former; never), systolic BP (in mmHg), hypertension medication use (yes, no), diagnosed diabetes (yes, no), LDL-cholesterol (mg/dL), HDL-cholesterol (mg/dL), triglycerides (mg/dL), current use of cholesterol-lowering medication (yes or no), and estimated glomerular filtration rate in mL/min/1.73m2.

Restricted Cubic Spline for odds of elevated hs-cTnT with background distributional histogram of baseline Diastolic BP. Note that the "frequency" axis label identifies the number ARIC participants at each point on this background histogram. Splines are centered at 85 mmHg, have knots at 57, 68, 75 and 90 mm Hg, and are truncated at the 1st and 99th percentiles. The shaded area around the regression line represents the 95% confidence interval

Hs-cTnT= high-sensitivity Troponin T, other abbreviations as per Table 1
