The relationship between BMI and visceral fat status on ePWV (cm/s) stratified by gender (A), age (B), race (C), hypertension (D), hyperlipidemia (E), diabetes (F), leisure time physical activity (G), smoking status (H), and drinking status (I) after adjusting for gender, age, race, education, marital status, family poverty income ratio, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, alcohol drinking, leisure time physical activity, and body surface area. The model is not adjusted for the stratification variable. Numbers 0–7 on the x-axis represent different BMI/VFA status: 0 = normal weight and normal visceral fat, 1 = normal weight and visceral obesity, 2 = overweight and normal visceral fat, 3 = overweight and visceral obesity), 4 = obese grade 1 and normal visceral fat, 5 = obese grade 1 and visceral obesity, 6 = obese grade 2 and normal visceral fat, 7 = obese grade 2 and visceral obesity. BMI, body mass index; ePWV, estimated pulse wave velocity; VFA, visceral fat area.
