Text: In multiple propensity score-adjusted models, compared with the reference group of < 140 mm Hg (group 1), the risk of cardiovascular mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] : 1. 34 ; 95 % confidence interval [CI] : 1. 01 to 1. 77 ; p = 0. 04), total stroke (adjusted HR : 1. 89 ; 95 % CI : 1. 26 to 2. 82 ; p = 0. 002) and nonfatal stroke (adjusted HR : 1. 70 ; 95 % CI : 1. 06 to 2. 72 ; p = 0. 03) was increased in the group with BP of 140 to < 150 mm Hg, whereas the risk of primary outcome, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, total MI, nonfatal MI, total stroke, and nonfatal stroke was increased in the group with BP150 mm Hg.
