Parameter Estimates of Age, Period and Cohort Effects (Black Points) on Diastolic Blood Pressure With 95% Credible Intervals (Vertical Lines) Among Boys (Top Panel) and Girls (Bottom Panel) in Hong Kong Using Age-Period-Cohort Linear Regression with Bayesian Inference. Left (Age Effects): Estimated Diastolic Blood Pressure at Each Age From 9 to 18 Years. Middle (Cohort Effects) and Right (Period Effects): Estimated Mean Difference in Diastolic Blood Pressure for Each Birth Cohort Born From 1980–1981 to 2004–2005 (Labeled as Earliest Birth Year for Each Cohort Group) With Projected Cohort Effects for Birth Cohort Born from 2005-2006 to 2014–2015 and for Examination Periods From 1999 to 2014 With Projected Period Effects from 2015 to 2024. The Second (2000) and the Penultimate (2013) Periods and the Central Birth Cohort (1992–1993) Were Specified as the Reference Categories
