Abbreviations: baPWV, brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity; Cr, creatinine; NAG, N‐acetyl‐β‐D‐glucosaminidase. (A) All patients models. (B) Patients without hypertension (HTN) models. ^a P<.01. ^b P<.05. Model 1: uncorrected. Model 2: corrected for age and sex. Model 3: Model 2+ body mass index, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, white blood cell count, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, total cholesterol, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum albumin, glycated hemoglobin, 1,5‐AG, hypertension, statins, and urinary pH (patients without HTN models were excluded from the adjustment for HTN). The significant independent variables are shown.
