Figure 2

Marginal effect of sex (men relative to women) at specific values of (A) systolic blood pressure and (B) diastolic blood pressure. Marginal effects were calculated based on the interaction between blood pressure components and sex group in the time-varying cox model after making adjustments for age, sex, body mass index, total cholesterol level, fasting glucose level, smoking status, alcohol intake, and Charlson Comorbidity Index score. The solid line represents the estimate; the shaded area represents uncertainty bounds among estimates calculated via 10,000 simulations. Figure was generated using R software version 4.0.116.
