Measures of blood pressure, including diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and pulse pressure (PP), as well as heart rate (HR) have been associated with target organ damage, especially CI [ 1–5]. For the current study, x and y were 0.2 and 0.8, respectively. [...]DL was calculated as [Image Omitted. 1 Demographic and clinical characteristics of subjects at index blood pressure according to subsequent CI status No CI CI Number 920 607 Age (years)  79 ± 6  81 ± 5*** SBPmean (mmHg) 130 ± 17 133 ± 18*** SBPmax (mmHg) 161 ± 22 165 ± 23** SBPmin (mmHg) 101 ± 16 104 ± 17** DBPmean (mmHg)  71 ± 9  72 ± 9* DBPmax (mmHg)  92 ± 12  93 ± 13* DBPmin (mmHg)  53 ± 8  53 ± 8* PPmean (mmHg)  58 ± 13  61 ± 14*** PPmax (mmHg)  81 ± 17  84 ± 18*** PPmin (mmHg)  37 ± 11  39 ± 13** *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
