Abstract

Objectives

To estimate age-, sex- and region-specific associations of blood pressure with cardiovascular diseases.

Design

Relative risk estimates and 95% confidence intervals were calculated from Cox models, stratified by sex and cohort, and adjusted for age at risk on individual participant data from 37 cohort studies. Repeat measurements of blood pressure were used to adjust for regression dilution bias.
