Figure 1

The predicted values of pulse pressure from the linear mixed model with the continuous tibia lead variable using the tibia bone lead values at the 25 th percentile and the 75 th percentile of the distribution at baseline (left) and after 10 years (right) for the ancestral type (solid line) and variant (dashed line) of VDR Bsm1 , with all other covariates held constant at the mean (continuous variables: age at baseline (65 yrs), BMI (28 kg/m 2 ), and calcium intake from food (800 mg/day)) or zero (categorical variables: race (white), smoking (non-smoker), alcohol intake (less than two drinks/day), diabetes status (no), family history of hypertension (no), and education (completed high school)).
