Abbreviations: c‐f PWV, carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity; HDL‐C, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL‐C, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol. Data are expressed as means±standard deviations and were analyzed by the Student t test or Mann‐Whitney U test (fasting glucose, blood urea nitrogen, C‐reactive protein, osteoprotegerin). Data are expressed as number of patients and analysis by chi‐square test. a P<.05 was considered statistically significant.
