Compared to the control group, patients in the aortic stiffness group were older (p = 0.011), had a higher prevalence of DM (p < 0.001), higher BMI (p < 0.001), greater waist circumference (p < 0.001), and higher SBP (p = 0.034), serum CRP (p = 0.012), TG (p = 0.025), and MDA-oxLDL (p = 0.001) levels. Here, CRP is linked to diabetes mellitus.
