*

Per 10 000 person-years. Standardised to age, sex, and study area structure of the China Kadoorie Biobank population.

Stratified by age, sex, and study area and adjusted for education, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and self-rated health status.

p value <0·0001 both for trend test and for test of non-linearity across seven groups.

Estimated according to the corresponding difference in usual systolic blood pressure (8·3 mm Hg) and its associated stroke risk.
