Association between systolic BP variability indices and ten-year percent change in carotid artery YEM (A) and DC (B) by age. Adjusted for sex, race/ethnicity, study center, mean arterial pressure when exposure was SD, DC/YEM, and menopausal status at baseline, and averaged pack years, alcohol intake, physical activity, BMI, heart rate, total cholesterol, HDL, GFR, C-reactive protein, mean arterial pressure when exposure was SD of systolic BP, cumulative exposure to systolic BP across visits 1 to 5 when exposures were SD and CV of systolic BP, and diabetes status across visits 1 to 5. Abbreviations: CV, coefficient variation, DC, distensibility coefficient; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SD, standard deviation; VIM, variability independent of the mean; YEM, Young’s elastic modulus. P-value: *<0.05, †<0.01, ‡<0.001.
