  1. Multiple linear regression analyses of PWV measured 2010, as dependent variable adjusted for, sex, HbA1c and systolic blood pressure. The increase of one-unit for each of the variables confers a change in PWV m s-1, expressed as the regression coefficient (Beta) with 95 percent CI. * not adjusted for SBP.
