Fig. 4: Distribution of longitudinal categories of BP by deciles of the HTN-PRS.

The figure visualizes the distribution of longitudinal BP categories in the stage 2 dataset: hypertension at both exams (treated and/or having hypertension in both exams), worsen (individuals having worse BP category in the follow-up exam compared to the first) improved (individuals having better BP category in the second exam compared to the first, only if they were not treated for hypertension at any point), and no hypertension in both exams (includes normal and elevated BP but without change in category), in deciles of the multi-ethnic HTN-PRS. The numbers provide the sample sizes represented by each bar.
