Objectives: To investigate the impact of medication on 20-year trends in BP and blood lipids in older British men. Design: Longitudinal study. Setting: 24 British towns. Participants: 4231 men from a socially and geographically representative cohort of older British men, examined at baseline (1978-80, aged 40-59 years) and after 20 years (1998)(1999)(2000). Main Outcome Measures: 20-year trends in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and total, non-HDL and HDL cholesterol according to medication use, derived from linear regression with generalised estimating equations, adjusting for age and risk factors for dyslipidemia and hypertension
