(a) Blood pressure and Intima-Media Thickness. | |||
Cardiovascular Data | Study Group (n = 63) | Control Group (n = 62) | p-Value |
RR systolic (mm Hg) | 88 ± 9 | 90 ± 7 | 0.43 |
RR diastolic (mm Hg) | 60 ± 12 | 58 ± 9 | 0.35 |
Aortic IMT (cm) | 0.10 ± 0.02 | 0.11 ± 0.02 | 0.52 |
(b) Average acceleration capacity. | |||
Cardiovascular Data | Study Group (n = 48) | Control Group (n = 39) | p-Value |
AAC (ms) | −20.10 ± 3.04 | −18.87 ± 4.00 | 0.02 * |
Data are displayed as mean ± SD. AAC, average acceleration capacity; RR, blood pressure measurement after Scipione Riva Rocci; IMT, intima media thickness; * statistically significant (p < 0.05) difference between both groups.
