Adjusted Hazard Ratios Estimating Mortality Risk Associated With Pre-HTN and HTN Compared With Normal Blood Pressure in the Same Age and Functional Status Groups
| Functional Group | HTN Group | Younger Participants | Older Participants | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deaths | Hazard Ratio | Deaths | Hazard Ratio | ||
| Good function | Normal | 139/1,569 = 9% | Reference | 137/517 = 27% | Reference |
| Pre-HTN | 165/1,314 = 13% | 1.48, p = .04 (1.03, 2.15) | 217/710 = 31% | 1.21, p = .005 (1.06, 1.37) | |
| HTN | 95/543 = 18% | 1.97, p = .002 (1.29, 3.03) | 190/517 = 37% | 1.47, p < .001 (1.36, 1.59) | |
| Impaired function | Normal | 199/1246 = 16% | Reference | 271/658 = 41% | Reference |
| Pre-HTN | 206/1,249 = 16% | 0.99, p = .930 (0.85, 1.15) | 402/1,066 = 38% | 0.87, p < .001 (0.85, 0.90) | |
| HTN | 178/679 = 26% | 1.54, p < .001 (1.30, 1.82) | 358/809 = 44% | 0.99, p = .930 (0.87, 1.14) | |
Notes: Models adjusted for race, sex, body mass index, smoking, diabetes, heart disease, heart failure, statin use, antihypertensive medications, and clustering by site.
HTN = Hypertension.
