The association between carotid to femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and major depressive disorder stratified by age and sex. Men and women aged 60 years or younger have a higher risk of major depressive disorder, although this association was not significant for women. The presented odds ratios (ORs) were adjusted for age, type 2 diabetes, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, body mass index, lipid medication, smoking, prior cardiovascular disease, alcohol use and hypertension. SD = standard deviation.
