Associations between blood pressure components and GFR change rates in linear mixed models with time-varying independent variables. Separate curves for marginal GFR change rates with and without antihypertensive medication are shown (p < 0.05 for the interaction with antihypertensive medication for each blood pressure component). Dashed lines indicate 95% confidence intervals. Each curve should be interpreted as giving the marginal GFR change rate for a person with constant antihypertensive medication and BP component throughout the study period. The analyses were adjusted using time-varying variables for age, sex, body weight, height, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, fasting triglycerides, fasting glucose, urinary ACR, pulse frequency, number of cigarettes currently smoked, and a dichotomous variable for the weekly use of alcohol. The distribution of each blood pressure component is superimposed on each graph
