Figure 1 Baseline and Predicted 10-Year Longitudinal Changes in SBP
Baseline and predicted 10-year longitudinal changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP) for men with starting ages 40 years (A) and 70 years (B) whose pulse wave velocity (PWV) at baseline was in the highest versus lowest quartile. For both starting ages, men whose baseline PWV was in the highest quartile showed an accelerated increase in SBP compared with men whose PWV was in the lowest quartile. Quartiles of PWV were separately defined for each age-decade.
