description: | There is considerable uncertainty regarding the efficacy of blood pressure–lowering therapy in reducing cardiovascular risk in obese people. In this report we examine the effects of blood pressure lowering according to baseline body mass index (kilograms per meter squared) in the Perindopril Protection Against Recurrent Stroke Study. A total of 6105 participants with cerebrovascular disease were randomized to perindopril-based blood pressure–lowering therapy or placebo. The overall mean difference in systolic/diastolic blood pressure between participants assigned active therapy or placebo was 9/4 mm Hg (SE0.5/0.3 mm Hg), with no difference by body mass index quarters ( |
