| Covariate | β ± SE | p-value | Age and sex adjusted β ± SE | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age (y) | −17 ± 4 | <0.0001 | --- | --- |
| BMI (kg/m2) | 34 ± 13 | 0.008 | 74 ± 13 | <0.0001 |
| Fat Mass (kg) | 0.004 ± 0.009 | 0.64 | 0.03 ± 0.01 | 0.002 |
| SBP (mmHg) | 4 ± 4 | 0.27 | 13 ± 4 | 0.002 |

| Carotid/Femoral PWV (m/s) | −6 ± 60 | 0.63 | 99 ± 58 | 0.087 |
BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; PWV, pulse-wave velocity; β, effect size (pg/mL); SE, standard error, Total fat mass was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry.
