Figure 1. Longitudinal course of progression or regression of DD by sex and age.

Figure 1

Progressors were defined by normal-mild diastolic dysfunction at Visit 1 and moderate-severe DD at Visit 2. Regressors were defined by moderate-severe DD at Visit 1 and normal-mild diastolic dysfunction at Visit 2. The proportion of progressors therefore consisted of the ratio of individuals with ≥moderate DD at Visit 2 and normal diastolic function at Visit 1, and the proportion of regressors consisted of the ratio individuals with normal-mild DD at Visit 2 out of those with ≥moderate DD at Visit 1. Odds ratios (ORs) for progressing represent the relative odds of progressing to moderate-severe DD at Visit 2 given normal-mild DD at Visit 1 compared to the referent group. ORs for regressing represent the relative odds of regressing from moderate-severe diastolic dysfunction at Visit 1 to normal-mild diastolic dysfunction at Visit 2 cycle compared to the referent group. ORs for the ‘by sex’ analysis are adjusted for age group, and the ‘by age group’ analyses are adjusted for sex.
