The primary endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular mortality and non-fatal cardiovascular events. Diagnostic threshold for cBP was developed by bootstrap and approximation methods, based on the current brachial BP. Cox regression models were employed to evaluate the clinical utility of diagnostic thresholds for cBP in predicting in CVD. A diagnostic threshold of 135\u2005mmHg for central systolic blood pressure (SBP) corresponded to the threshold of 140\u2005mmHg for brachial SBP. Simultaneous assessment of brachial and central SBP configurated following categories: brachial and central normotension (49.84%), isolated brachial hypertension (2.23%), isolated central hypertension (3.65%) and concordant brachial and central hypertension (44.28%). Compared with concordant normotension, hazard ratios for cardiovascular events were 0.81 (0.45, 1.44) for isolated brachial hypertension, 1.70 (1.23, 2.35) for isolated central hypertension and 1.51 (1.30, 1.76) for concordant hypertension. The inclusion of cBP improved model fit and discrimination for predicting CVD beyond brachial BP alone.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study established a diagnostic threshold of 135\u2005mmHg for central SBP.
