Data are β‐coefficients and 95% CI. M1: linear mixed model adjusted for age. M2: multivariable linear regression analyses also adjusted for smoking status (yes/no), educational level (low, intermediate, high), energy expenditure, energy intake, any lipid‐lowering drugs (yes/no), any antihypertensive drugs (yes/no) or antidiabetics (yes/no). The models were performed with a random effect on the family. cfPWV indicates carotid‐femoral pulse‐wave velocity; cIMT, carotid intima‐media thickness; LV, left ventricular.
