Data are show as mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range). Coversion factor for SI unit is as follows: for triglycerides divide by 88.7. 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
