Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier curve for mortality in the original cohort (death vs time). The thick dark line represents the cohort with the lowest blood pressure (systolic blood pressure [SBP] <130 mm Hg); the other 2 blood pressure cohorts (SBP, 131-160 and >160 mm Hg) are superimposed on the upper line.
