Blood Pressure and Risk of Death from External Causes among Men Screened for the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial
TL;DR: For men, hypertension may signal an increased risk of death from external causes, and the association of blood pressure with specific types of "accidental" death is assessed.

The multiple risk factor intervention trial (MRFIT).: II. The development of the protocol
TL;DR: The MRFIT protocol is designed to test the hypothesis that lowering serum cholesterol by diet, reducing high blood pressure by diet and drugs, and cessation of cigarette smoking will result in a reduced risk of death among men aged 35–57 without initial evidence of CHD.
