*P values from χ2 or one-way ANOVA.
†Significant contrasts from one-way ANOVA (Scheffe test, p<0.05): (1) less than (2–5); (2) greater than (1); (3) greater than (1, 2); (4) greater than (1, 2) and (5) greater than (1, 2).
‡Cardiovascular Events: myocardial infarction/acute coronary syndrome, ventricular arrhythmias.
§Total Vascular Events: recurrent stroke/TIA, myocardial infarction/acute coronary syndrome, ventricular arrhythmias.
ANOVA, analysis of variance; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TIA, transient ischaemic attack.
