Table 2.

Age-, sex-, cohort-adjusted associations between liver phantom ratio (LPR) and vascular function measures.

Vascular function measures	−LPR^*
	N	r	P-value
Brachial artery measures
Flow-mediated dilation (%)	2061	−0.05	0.02
Hyperemic mean flow velocity (cm/s)	2061	−0.03	0.19
Peripheral Arterial Tonometry measures
Peripheral arterial tone ratio^† (unitless)	1393	−0.20	<0.0001
Arterial tonometry measures
−1,000/Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (ms/mm)	2284	0.13	<0.0001
Forward-wave amplitude (mm Hg)	2284	0.02	0.27
Mean arterial pressure (mm Hg)	2284	0.1	<0.0001

Data is modeled such that correlations are expressed per lower levels of LPR.

^†

Peripheral artery tonometry measures are natural logarithm transformed.
