PWV: Pulse wave velocity. C-IMT: Intima media thickness.CAIx: Central augmentation index. BMI: Body mass index. % Fat: body fat percentage. WHtR: Waist to height ratio.
p: statistically significant differences (p < 0.05).
First model: No adjusted.
Second model: Regression model constructed with BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage and waist height ratio as predictors variables adjusted by gender and age.
Third model: Regression model constructed with BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage and waist height ratio as predictors variables adjusted by gender, age, to be diabetic, to be hypertensive, lipid lowering drugs and smoking.
Fourth model: Regression model constructed with BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage and waist height ratio as predictors variables adjusted by gender, age, to be diabetic, to be hypertensive, lipid lowering drugs, smoking, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, high sensitivity c-reactive protein, serum glucose, antidiabetic drugs and atherosclerotic plaques.
