Sex- and age-standardized cumulative incidence of total mortality and cardiovascular (CV) event by hypertensive categories. Relative to normotension, isolated diastolic hypertension was not associated with increased risk of death or CV events when defined according to 2017 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology criteria. The 24-h systolic/diastolic ambulatory blood pressure (BP) thresholds were 125/75 mm Hg by 2017 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (A and B) and 130/80 mm Hg by 2018 European Society of Cardiology (C and D) definitions. Normotension refers to those with both systolic/diastolic BPs lower than the cutoff values, whereas combined hypertension refers to those with both systolic/diastolic BPs equal to or higher than the cutoff levels. Isolated systolic and diastolic hypertension refers to those with only systolic or diastolic BP elevated. Tabulated data are the number of participants at risk by hypertensive categories at 5-y intervals. P values show significance for comparison with the normotensive group.
