Figure 3.

Mean systolic BP (stars) decreased with standing in all age groups, but with no association with (a) age (ρ = -0.026, continuous line) or (b) gender (shaded bars). Mean diastolic BP (circles) increased with standing in all age groups, but with no significant association with age (ρ = -0.010, dotted line) (a), whereas we found a significant difference for gender (b) (p = 0.001, Mann-Whitney U-test, hatched bars).
