Association between blood pressure and mortality in a Spanish cohort of persons aged 65 years or over: a dynamic model.
Mortality from ischaemic heart disease: age-specific effects of blood pressure stratified by body-mass index: the HUNT cohort study in Norway
TLDR
The association of blood pressure with IHD mortality was stronger in people younger than 65 years than in older age groups, and the association was further modified by BMI.
Assessing Sex Differences in the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality per Increment in Systolic Blood Pressure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Follow-Up Studies in the United States
TLDR
The results demonstrated that the risk of CV disease per 10 mm Hg SBP increment for women was 1.1-fold higher than men (P<0.01) and there was no significant sex difference in CV mortality.
Age-specific association between blood pressure and vascular and non-vascular chronic diseases in 0·5 million adults in China: a prospective cohort study
Blood Pressure Variability and Cardiovascular Risk in the PROspective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk (PROSPER)
TLDR
Diastolic blood pressure is more strongly associated with vascular or total mortality than is systolic pressure variability in older high-risk subjects, and associations were independent of respective mean blood pressure levels, age, gender, in-trial treatment group and prior vascular disease and cardiovascular disease risk factors.

TLDR
This systematic ‘meta-analysis’ aims to characterize more precisely than has previously been possible the age-specific and sex-specific relevance of blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels to particular causes of death.

TLDR
Age 50 to 59 years was a transition period when all 3 BP indexes were comparable predictors, and from 60 years of age on, DBP was negatively related to CHD risk so that PP became superior to SBP.
