a

Natural log transformed baPWV analyzed, antilog of mean and 95% confidence interval (CI) presented as geometric mean and 95% CI.

b

Adjusted for race, age, total physical activity score, and difficulty paying for basics measured at cIMT or baPWV visit.

c

Adjusted for covariates listed with Mode 1 + baseline SBP, triglyceride, HOM-IR index, BMI, use of medication, and ever smoking status.

Abbreviations: baPWV: brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; cIMT: carotid intima-media thickness.
