Similar to previous studies [30,31,32], factors such as age (p < 0.01), systolic blood pressure (p < 0.01), diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.01), hemodialysis vintage (p = 0.03), diabetes mellitus (p < 0.01), hypertension (p < 0.01), albumin (p < 0.01), ion calcium (p = 0.02), and C-reactive protein (p < 0.01) were significantly associated with baPWV (Supplementary Table S2), suggesting that these factors could be taken into accounts in multivariable-adjusted linear regression models (Table 3) for investigating the association between circulating CV biomarkers and baPWV. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
