BP, blood pressure; cfPWV, carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity; CI, confidence interval; CIMT, carotid intima‐media thickness; CVD, cardiovascular disease; LVMI, left ventricular mass index; OR, odds ratio.
Multivariate models were adjusted for model 1: sex and childhood age; model 2: additionally included childhood body mass index and adult risk factors (smoking, drinking and physical inactivity).
