Changes in target organ damage over time during 3.5 years of follow-up. a Target organ damage (TOD) in men and in women; b Vascular TOD in men and in women. IMT intima media thickness, cf-PWV carotid femoral pulse wave velocity, ABI ankle brachial index. In men, the vascular TOD was significantly different between the final and baseline assessment and the 2nd and 3rd assessments (p < 0.05). The cf-PWV TOD was also significantly different between the final and baseline assessment (p < 0.05). In women, the vascular TOD was significantly different between the 2nd and 3rd assessments (p < 0.05). There was also a significant difference in the IMT TOD between the baseline and 2nd assessment and between the 2nd and 3rd assessment (p < 0.05). The cf-PWV TOD was significantly different between the 2nd and 3rd assessment (p < 0.05)
