cfPWV across quartiles of serum FT4 among men and women. The values were adjusted for age, height, heart rate, alcohol intake, current smoking, former smoking, antihypertensive treatment, and diabetes mellitus. Among men: Q1 (n = 62, FT4 9.01–13.46 pmol/l), Q2 (n = 62, FT4 13.58–16.67 pmol/l), Q3 (n = 61, FT4 16.68–19.37 pmol/l), and Q4 (n = 62, FT4 19.41–25.98 pmol/l). Among women: Q1 (n = 111, FT4 9.02–14.45 pmol/l), Q2 (n = 111, FT4 14.48–16.86 pmol/l), Q3 (n = 111, FT4 16.87–19.96 pmol/l), and Q4 (n = 111, FT4 19.97–25.98 pmol/l). cfPWV, carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity
