Notes: Multivariate linear regressions were conducted to investigate the relations of vascular ageing parameters with LVMI and RWT. Adjusted for conventional cardiovascular risk factors and diseases and treatments, respectively. *P<0.05.

Abbreviations: LVMI, left ventricular mass index; RWT, relative wall thickness; cf-PWV, carotid to femoral aortic pulse wave velocity; ba-pwv, brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; UACR, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
