Arterial stiffness parameters and blood pressure in groups with different level of non–high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.

SBP right arm [mmHg]	142.4 ± 17.3	138.1 ± 17.8	NS
SBP left arm [mmHg]	143.1 ± 19.1	134.7 ± 19.2	< 0.05
DBP right arm [mmHg]	86.0 ± 10.0	85.4 ± 10.6	NS

Pulsatile stress right	3626 ± 1119	3382 ± 843	NS
Pulsatile stress left	3650 ± 1332	3344 ± 1058	NS
baPWV right [m/s]	12.0 (11.0–13.3)	11.7 (10.5–13.3)	NS
baPWV left [m/s]	12.0 (10.9–13.5)	11.9 (10.6–13.8)	NS
cfPWV [m/s]	8.0 (7.2–9.4)	7.6 (6.6–9.5)	NS

Data are show as mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range). Coversion factor for SI unit is as follows: for HDL divide by 38.67. ABI — ankle brachial index; baPWV — brachial ankle pulse wave velocity; cfPWV — carotid femoral pulse wave velocity; DBP — diastolic blood pressure; NS — not statistically significant; PP — pulse pressure; SBP — systolic blood pressure
