Figures represent the mean change in blood pressure per decade (mmHg). Figures are estimated change in SBP or DBP per decade.
aAdjusted for age, BMI categories, total cholesterol category, smoking and multimorbidity.
bAdditional adjustment for number of antihypertensive drug classes and class of drug prescribed.
