  1. IMT: Intima Media Thickness; PWV: pulse wave velocity; PAIx75: Peripheral or radial augmentation index adjusted for heart rate at 75 bpm, ABI: ankle brachial index.
  2. PWV and PAIx75 are showed in median and interquartil range and IMT and ABI as mean ± Standard deviation.
  3. p-values are for comparison of subgroups by T-Student independent groups and U Mann Whitney test.
