Mark M asked:


I’m looking for statistics here, not just generalizations or guidelines. For one or more end results (death, hospitalization, MI, whatever seems appropriate), I would like to know the relative risk as a function of, say, systolic BP. [I have a few more questions that will help to shed some light on why I’m asking, but I think this one question stands alone pretty well.]
