Figure 1

Crude effects of blood pressure and lipid biomarkers on death rate ratios (Costa Rican males aged 80+). Notes: The numbers within parentheses in the legends are the mean values. The diamonds indicate the cutoff levels of metabolic risk used in clinical practice. Although these curves are for males aged 80+ years, the curves for females and ages 60 to 79 years are similar, given that the interactions with age and sex in Table 2 are small and nonsignificant.
