Abbreviations: AIC, Akaike information criterion; BIC, Bayes information criteria; BP, blood pressure; CVD, cardiovascular disease; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HR, hazard ratio; MAP, mean arterial pressure; NA, not applicable; PP, pulse pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; Y0, year 0.

a

Race-specific adjusted HRs (95% CIs) for risk of incident CVD with a 1-SD increment in SBP, DBP, MAP, and PP are shown. A 1-SD increment of each BP parameter at Y0 is as follows: SBP, 11 mm Hg; DBP, 10 mm Hg; MAP, 9 mm Hg; and PP, 10 mm Hg. Base model includes the following sociodemographic characteristics: age, sex, educational level, and study site (Birmingham, Alabama; Chicago, Illinois; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Oakland, California). The following clinical characteristics were included at Y0: smoking, body mass index, fasting glucose level, total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and antihypertensive medication use. Statistical significance was defined as P < .05.

b

The differences from base model were statistically tested. The Harrell C was used to calculate C statistics.

c

P < .01.

d

P < .001.

e

P < .05.
