Adjusted odds ratios for relationships between skin AF and vascular stiffness. Adjusted associations between skin AF and vascular stiffness defined as cfPWV ≥ 10 m/s (a) and cfPWV ≥ 12 m/s (b). Linearity was assessed with Wald test from restricted cubic splines, adjusted ORs are reported from logistic regression and per 1 unit increase in skin AF. Analyses were adjusted for sex and age, BMI, waist circumference, smoking status (three categories: non-smoker, former smoker, current smoker), recreational physical activity (biking and sports, h/week), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse, prevalent conditions (prevalent heart failure, prior myocardial infarction or stroke), antihypertensive and lipid-lowering treatment, CRP, LDL-, HDL- and total cholesterol, triglycerides and HbA1c. AF autofluorescence, cfPWV carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval
