Regression results are presented as unstandardized coefficient βs (95% CIs). The associations in model 1 are adjusted for age and sex. The associations in model 2 are additionally adjusted for mean arterial pressure and heart rate. The associations in model 3 are additionally adjusted for history of cardiovascular disease, level of education, mobility limitation (yes/no), triglycerides, total‐to‐high‐density‐lipoprotein–cholesterol ratio, use of lipid‐modifying medication, use of antihypertensive medication, smoking, alcohol consumption, and body mass index. cfPWV indicates carotid‐to‐femoral pulse wave velocity; and T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus.
