¹Linear regression derived beta (β) values

²Triglyceride values were log-transformed for analysis

Table after adjusting for age, race, body-mass index, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, glucose, smoking and alcohol Intake. Cut-off p-value of p<0.01 was used for determining significance.

Unit for VLDL-P and LDL-P was nmol/L, unit for HDL-P was μmol/L

cfPWV = carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, baPWV = brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, faPWV = femoral-ankle pulse wave velocity

LDL-P = low-density lipoprotein particle number, HDL-P = high-density lipoprotein particle number, VLDL-P = very low-density lipoprotein particle number
