SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; MAP, mean arterial pressure; PWV, pulse wave velocity; AIx, augmentation index
Values are presented as mean ± standard error. All variables were adjusted for sex, age, body mass index, and years of alcohol consumption. PWV, AIx, and AIx heart rate corrected were adjusted for MAP in addition to the variables mentioned above. Central SBP/DBP was missing in n = 1 participant in the non-drinking group, and n = 2 in the light drinking group
