Final Predicted Model for Determinants of Relative Annual Change in cfPWV (% change per Year)

Variable, increment	β (SE)	Standardized coefficient	P value
Adiponectin*	−1.8(0.8)	−0.15	0.03
Alcohol consumption   ≥2 times/week	1.6(0. 7)	0.15	0.02
SBP	0.07(0.03)	0.15	0.03
Change in SBP per Year	0.3(0.2)	0.14	0.04

Adjusted for age at baseline, race, follow-up time, heart rate, use of antihypertensive, and lipid lowering medications. SBP: systolic blood pressure; cfPWV: carotid femoral pulse wave velocity.
