Trends in age-standardised mean SBP by

subregion between 1980 and 2008 for men (A) and women (B)

The solid line represents the posterior mean and the shaded area the 95% uncertainty interval.BMI=body-mass index.

Change in country age-standardised

mean SBP between 1980 and 2008 in

relation to its uncertainty for men (A) and women (B)

The shaded areas roughly represent the following ranges of posterior probability (PP) of an estimated increase or decrease being a true increase or decrease:

PP>0.975 (A); 0.95<PP<0.975 (B); 0.75<PP<0.95 (C); and PP<0.75 (D).
