↵1-150 95th percentiles were determined in normotensive subjects, with conventional blood pressure lower than 140 mm Hg systolic and 90 mm Hg diastolic.
↵1-151 This group excludes participants of the Allied Irish Bank Study and the Belgian population study, who were analysed separately.
↵1-152 For the Japanese and Danish studies, the authors provided the 95th percentiles from the databases described in references 49 and 57, respectively.
