“Worsening” was defined as a difference between blood pressure measures between the 2nd and 1st visits >0. AIx: aortic augmentation index. cfPWV: carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity. CI: confidence interval. CPP: central pulse pressure. DBP: diastolic blood pressure. MAP: mean arterial pressure. OR: odds ratio. PP: pulse pressure. SBP: systolic blood pressure. SE: standard error
