Multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the associations of CAVI and baPWV with HbA1c, GP and FPG.

Model 1: Adjusted for Age (years) and gender (0 = male and 1 = female).

Model 2: Adjusted for Age (years). Gender (0 = male and 1 = female). Smoking (0 = Not and 1 = Yes). Body mass index. Mean arterial pressure. Atherogenic index. Alcohol consumption. Antihypertensive drugs (0 = Not and 1 = Yes). Antidiabetic drugs and lipid lowering drugs (0 = Not and 1 = Yes).

CAVI cardio-ankle vascular index. baPWV brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity. DM diabetes mellitus. HbA1c glycosylated hemoglobin. PG postprandial glucose. FPG fasting plasma glucose. CI confidence interval. β correlation coefficient.

p statistically significant differences (p < 0.05).
