AMPR, amplification ratio; BR_PP, brachial pulse pressure; C_PP, aortic pulse pressure; C_SP, central aortic systolic pressure.

Regression analysis adjusted for age, gender, and race. Diabetes, hypertension, hemoglobin, parathyroid hormone, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides were included in the initial model but were not significant in a multivariable adjusted model.
