(A–C) Diabetes status has a positive association with PWV and AIX75 and a negative association with Buckberg SEVR. (D–F) According to BIC minimization, the best relationships of HbA1c are cubic for PWV, quadratic for AIX75, and linear for Buckberg SEVR. Given that the cubic relationship between HbA1c and PWV declined after adjusting for covariates, we present the regression analysis for PWV as a linear relationship. Abbreviations: PWV: Pulse-wave velocity. AIX75: Heart-rate-corrected augmentation index at 75 bpm. SEVR: Subendocardial viability ratio. BIC: Bayesian information criterion.
