Tracking coefficients of PWV

PWVa Tracking coefficient (95% CI) P-value
Carotid-femoral 0.61 (0.43, 0.79) <0.001
Carotid-radial 0.29 (0.14, 0.43) <0.001
Carotid-distal 0.36 (0.21, 0.52) <0.001

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; GEE, generalized estimating equation; PWV, pulse wave velocity.
