Adjusted risks associated with continuous relative annual carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (CF-PWV) changes for total cardiovascular events (CVEs, panel A), all-cause mortality (panel B), major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs, panel C) and cardiovascular mortality (panel D), modeled by extended Cox analyses with splines (knots at the 5th, 35th, 65th, and 95th percentile values, and reference value at − 2.5%/year change, the lowest risk nadir point). All analyses were adjusted for age, sex, first CF-PWV measurement, BMI, diabetes duration, smoking, presence of macro- and microvascular complications at baseline, anti-hypertensive and insulin treatment, mean SBP, HbA1c and LDL-cholesterol levels and changes in MAP and heart rate between the first and second CF-PWV measurements
