HR of total (A), ischemic (B), lacunar (C), nonlacunar thrombotic (D), and cardioembolic (E) stroke in relation to postural change in SBP by cubic spline regression analysis (ARIC, 1987 to 2007). HR of total (A), ischemic (B), lacunar (C), nonlacunar thrombotic (D), and cardioembolic (E) stroke in relation to postural change in SBP by cubic spline regression analysis (ARIC, 1987 to 2007). The solid line represents the HR; dotted line, 95% CIs. The reference values were set to 0 mm Hg. The HRs were adjusted for age, sex, race/center, education, sitting SBP, antihypertensive medication use, and diabetes. The sample for the spline analysis was truncated at the 1st and 99th percentile of postural SBP change. Hiroshi Yatsuya et al.
