Distribution of LAFI with age and sex in the subgroup free of CVD/CVD risk factors. This subsample was free of hyper-tension, diabetes, obesity, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, and coronary heart disease. Although mean LAFI was lower with age, there was no statistically significant association with sex in this subgroup. Error bars represent 2 standard errors of mean. Age group- and sex-specific mean 6 SD values are also presented.
