FABP4 and hypertensive disorder: Multivariate logistic regression analysis of the factors significantly associated with arterial stiffness (DM, HTN, body weight, waist circumference, BMI, SBP, DBP, pulse pressure, and A-FABP) revealed that A-FABP (odds ratio: 1.833, 95 % confidence interval (CI): 1.123–2.993, P = 0.015) was an independent predictor of arterial stiffness in geriatric adults (Table 4).
