Figure 2.Mortality risk (hazard ratio), adjusted for age, BMI and glucose, for hypertensive subjects and normotensive subjects according to genotype of GHR SNP rs4130113 in heterozygote disadvantage model, AG vs.AA/GG. It can be seen that in men with hypertension who had a longevity-associated genotype, mortality risk was reduced to normal in that it did not differ significantly from the survival curves of normotensive men.
