  1. The p-value for ANCOVA (analysis of covariance) test adjusting for age is represented
  2. BP blood pressure, HTN hypertension
  3. Course A: normal BP → elevated BP → stage1 HTN → stage2 HTN
  4. Course B: normal BP → elevated BP → stage2 HTN
  5. Course C: normal BP → stage1 HTN → stage2 HTN
  6. Course D: normal BP → stage2 HTN
