Values expressed as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Abbreviations are the same as in Table 1.

Covariates in the model 1 included gender, a history of hypertension, mean arterial pressure, body mass index, ABI<0.9 and baPWV.

Covariates in the model 2 included gender, a history of hypertension, mean arterial pressure, body mass index, and LVMI.
