Simple linear regression analysis demonstrated that cfPWV was negatively correlated with female gender (r = −0.330; p < 0.001) and positively correlated with DM (r = 0.387; p < 0.001), age (r = 0.338; p < 0.001), BMI (r = 0.216; p = 0.002), waist circumference (r = 0.332; p < 0.001), SBP (r = 0.250; p < 0.001), logarithmically transformed (log) serum glucose levels (r = 0.372; p < 0.001), and serum galectin-3 levels (r = 0.274; p < 0.001). The gene discussed is LGALS3; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
