(A–F) show the interactions of sex, FGP, blood pressure, VAT, LDL-C, and non-HDL-C with HbA1c and PWV, respectively. The linear relationship between HbA1c and PWV is modified by sex, FGP ≥ 126 mg/dL, hypertension (SBP ≥ 140 mg/dL or DBP ≥ 90 mg/dL), visceral obesity (VAT ≥ 1 kg), LDL-C ≥ 100 mg/dL, and non-HDL-C ≥ 130 mg/dL. Abbreviations: HbA1c: Glycated hemoglobin. PWV: Pulse-wave velocity. FGP: fasting glucose plasma. VAT: Visceral adipose tissue. DBP: Diastolic blood pressure. SBP: Systolic blood pressure. HDL-C: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol. LDL-C: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
