Fig. 7: Cardiovascular age-delta and drug use associations.
From: Environmental and genetic predictors of human cardiovascular ageing
Linear regression analysis of cardiovascular drug usage with cardiovascular age-delta. Error bars indicate the beta-coefficients point estimates ± 95% confidence intervals (CI) of the experiments (n = 27,546 participants). The results of the two models are demonstrated. One model adjusted for age, age2 and sex, cigarette and alcohol intake, body-mass index, diagnoses of obesity, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolaemia and heart failure. A second model additionally adjusted for haemodynamic parameters (heart rate, diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure). ACEi angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, ARB angiotensin receptor blockers, BB beta-blockers, CCB calcium channel blockers, DBP diastolic blood pressure, HR heart rate, SBP systolic blood pressure.
