1. Flow chart of the 1683 study members at age 60–64 years by hypertension (HT) status.
Flow chart of the 1683 study members at age 60–64 years by hypertension (HT) status. Clinically ascertained HT is based on the European Society of Hypertension (ESH)/European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2013 guidelines (normotensives are patients with systolic blood pressure (SBP) <140 and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) <90 mm Hg and no medication use). Self-reported HT is based on self-completed questionnaires (normotensives are patients with negative reply on the question about HT knowledge and negative reply on question on medication use).
