TNFSF11 and hypertensive disorder: In comparison, the PWVhi group was older (p < 0.0001) and had higher glycemia (p = 0.038), higher serum OPG (p = 0.016), and a higher OPG/RANKL ratio (p = 0.029) (Figure 1A,B), as well as a higher intima-media thickness (p < 0.0001), a higher incidence of hypertension (p = 0.043), a higher left ventricular ejection fraction (p = 0.002), a lower left-ventricular end-diastolic diameter (p = 0.043), a lower glomerular filtration rate (p = 0.033), and a lower calcium-channel blockers usage (p = 0.048).
