baPWV, Model 1 | 1.10 (1.00, 1.21) | 0.050 | 0.95 (0.85, 1.07) | 0.394 |
baPWV, Model 2 | 1.11 (1.00, 1.23) | 0.055 | 0.95 (0.84, 1.06) | 0.359 |
BaPWV indicates brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; CMBs, cerebral microbleeds.
Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, and systolic blood pressure. Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive medication, diabetes mellitus, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, lipid-lowering medication, and current smoking.
