Values are presented as mean±standard deviation or mean (standard error). P-value was calculated using an ANOVA or analysis of covariance, adjusting for variables as indicated. Superscript (a, b, c, d): mean values with different superscript are significantly different (P<0.05, ANOVA followed by the least significant difference method).

Ba-PWV, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; NF, normal fat; NW, normal weight; EF, excessive fat; O, obese; ANOVA, analysis of variance.

*

Adjusted for age.

Age adjusted plus adjusted for social history (smoking, drinking, and exercise habit).

Social adjusted plus adjusted for low-density lipoprotein and history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus.
