Abbreviations: Δ denotes $(\mathrm{f}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{w}\text{-}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{v}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{e}-\mathrm{b}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{v}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{e})/(\mathrm{f}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{w}\text{-}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{y}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{s})$β, unstandardized regression coefficient; BMI, body mass index; CI, 95% confidence interval; cPWV, carotid pulse wave velocity; cPWV_corr, pressure-corrected cPWV according to equation (S1); E, Young’s modulus; E_corr, pressure-corrected Young’s modulus according to equation (S6); MAP, mean arterial pressure. For ΔcPWV model 2: crude model + ΔIMT, ΔHR, use of antihypertensive drugs at the first visit. Model 3: model 2 + age, sex, smoking status, body mass index, diabetes status, and hypercholesterolemia. For ΔE model 2: crude model + ΔHR and use of antihypertensive drugs at the first visit. Model 3: model 2 + age, sex, smoking status, BMI, diabetes status, and hypercholesterolemia. In models 2 and 3 for ΔcPWV the change in intima–media thickness ΔIMT was used. Correspondingly, in the models for ΔcPWV_corr the pressure-corrected ΔIMT_corr was used.
