Other significant explanatory variables for an increased baPWV were age ≥60 years (adjusted beta: 441.47, 95% CI: 403.74, 479.20), hypertension (adjusted beta: 195.62, 95% CI: 159.30, 231.93), high TG (adjusted beta: 0.17, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.34), high blood sugar (adjusted beta: 3.40, 95% CI: 2.47, 4.34), and high C-reactive protein (adjusted beta: 57.62, 95% CI: 28.87, 86.36). Here, CRP is linked to Hypertension.
