*
Values are reported as mean ± SD or number (percentage) of subjects; all medical history based on both self-report and diagnosis in-hospital post stroke.
†
Adjusted for age, sex, and significant (P < 0.05) variables from the univariate analyses.
‡
The higher values of both sides were used for univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.
CMSA indicates the segment atherosclerosis between common carotid artery and the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery; CI, confidence interval; BP, blood pressure; BMI, body mass index; ccPWV, carotid–cerebral pulse wave velocity; cIMT, carotid intima-media thickness; baPWV, brachium-ankle pulse wave velocity.
