	Age < 50 years	Age ≥ 50 years	All
Age, years			1.02 (1.01–1.04)
Men vs. women	10.2 (2.21–47.16)
Central pulse pressure, mmHg	1.10 (1.05–1.15)	1.17 (1.14–1.20)	1.15 (1.12–1.17)
Central obesity, yes vs. no	11.46 (3.19–41.22)	1.75 (1.05–2.93)	2.37 (1.50–3.76)
High LDL, yes vs. no	3.84 (1.30–11.32)		1.82 (1.16–2.85)
