Adjusted for age, gender, height, BMI, waist circumference, diabetes, hypertension, alcohol, and smoking. PWVao: aortic pulse wave velocity; CAVI: cardio-ankle vascular index; ha-PWV: heart-ankle pulse wave velocity; AIx: aortic augmentation index; BP: blood pressure. ¹Significant variables in the model were age (β = 0.32, p < 0.001), body height (β = 0.45, p < 0.001), and diabetes status (β = 0.17, p = 0.003). ²Significant variables in the model were age (β = 0.34, p < 0.001), body height (β = 0.46, p < 0.001), and diabetes status (β = 0.17, p = 0.001). ³Significant variables in the model were age (β = 0.31, p < 0.001), body height (β = 0.48, p < 0.001), and diabetes status (β = 0.19, p = 0.001).
