Analyzed as continuous variables; CENT: centenarians; LCR: low cardiovascular risk; HCR: high cardiovascular risk; CONT: controls (LCR plus HCR); BMI: body mass index; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DPP: diastolic blood pressure; MBP: mean blood pressure; PP: pulse pressure. All parameters adjusted to sex, taking as a reference to the female gender. ¥Considering the dependent variable to be CENT versus CONT of high (HCR) or low (LCR) cardiovascular risk, the Odds Ratio (OR) refers to the measure of association between the variables in empirical analysis and the risk of not being centenary.
