Figure 1 (A) Relationship between hematocrit and left ventricular mass (LVM) index in men. (B) Relationship between hematocrit and LVM index in postmenopausal women. (C) Relationship between hematocrit and LVM index in premenopausal women. Hematocrit is treated as a continuous variable; LVM index is LVM normalized for height (g/m). All relationships shown are fully adjusted restricted cubic spline estimates for the relationship between hematocrit and LVM index. Other covariates in the multivariable model include: age, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, smoking status, and study cohort (original vs. offspring). Dashed lines = 95% confidence intervals.
