Abbreviations: ACEi, angiotensin converting enzyme; AntiHTN, antihypertensive; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; BB, beta blocker; CCB, calcium channel blocker; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; CV, cardiovascular; OR, Odds Ratio; SPPB, Short Physical Performance Battery.

a

Because some characteristics had >5% missing data, multiple imputation was applied (see Statistical Analysis section).

b

SPPB total score ≤7 (moderate-to-severe).

c

Adjusted for age, female gender, non-white race, obesity (BMI ≥30), never-smoker, comorbidities (except CV disease), and non-antiHTN medications.

d

Absence of established CV disease was defined by not having any of the following: self-reported, physician-diagnosed MI, HF, stroke, or PAD, or adjudicated silent MI on electrocardiogram.

e

Presence of established CV disease was defined by having any of the following: self-reported, physician-diagnosed MI, HF, stroke, or PAD, or adjudicated silent MI on electrocardiogram.

f

Comparisons were between medication regimens that included a specified antiHTN class (e.g. diuretic) vs. medication regimens that did not include the specified antiHTN class (e.g. diuretic).

g

Comparison is use of one, two, or three or more antiHTN medications vs. no antiHTN medication, respectively.
