Life Course Trajectories of Systolic Blood Pressure Using Longitudinal Data from Eight UK Cohorts

Figure 3

Observed BMI (kg/m²) in each cohort.

The lines represent the median, 10^th and 90^th centile at each wave in each cohort in men (A) and women (B). The grey lines from 0 to 23 y are centiles from the UK 1990 growth reference (see reference 26) spaced approximately 2/3 of a standard deviation apart (2^nd, 10^th, 25^th, 50^th, 75^th, 90^th and 98^th centiles).
