Distribution of pulse wave velocity (m/s) according to the age category in the normal values population (1455 subjects)

Age category (years) Mean (±2 SD) Median (10–90 pc)
<30 6.2 (4.7–7.6) 6.1 (5.3–7.1)
30–39 6.5 (3.8–9.2) 6.4 (5.2–8.0)
40–49 7.2 (4.6–9.8) 6.9 (5.9–8.6)
50–59 8.3 (4.5–12.1) 8.1 (6.3–10.0)
60–69 10.3 (5.5–15.0) 9.7 (7.9–13.1)
≥70 10.9 (5.5–16.3) 10.6 (8.0–14.6)

SD, standard deviation; 10 pc, the upper limit of the 10th percentile; 90 pc, the lower limit of the 90th percentile.
