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.

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.
