The extent to which select vascular risk factors differentially influence blood pressure (BP) is incompletely understood. Thus, we used multilevel modeling to analyze serial BP measurements using 21,732 person-observations obtained on Framingham Heart Study participants (mean age 38 years, 52% women; 4,993 unique individuals) over a 28-year period. We related longitudinal tracking of each BP measure (systolic BP [SBP], diastolic BP [DBP], mean arterial pressure [MAP], and pulse pressure [PP]) to age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking, diabetes, total/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio, and heart rate. In multivariable-adjusted analyses, we observed that older age, male sex, greater BMI, and higher heart rate were positively associated with increase in all BP measures (p<0.0001). Notably, higher total/HDL cholesterol ratio was associated with greater MAP (p<0.01). Conversely, diabetes and smoking were associated with higher PP (p<0.01). We also observed effect modification by sex: the increase in PP with age and BMI was more pronounced in women compared to men (p<0.0001). All BP measures tracked at higher levels in both men and women with multiple vascular risk factors. Taken together, our longitudinal observations of a large community-based sample demonstrate a greater pulsatile load in women than men with increasing age. We also observed a differential impact of select vascular risk factors on the individual components of BP, underscoring distinct regulation of these measures over the life course.
