Multiple linear regression analysis by Multivariate General lineal model (GLM). Dependent variables: Standardized Physical Component and Standardized Mental Component
Independent Variables: Ankle brachial index (ABI), Cardio Ankle Vascular index (CAVI), Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (ba-PWV) and Augmentation index (AIx_75)
Model 1: Unadjusted; Model 2: Adjusted for age, gender, current smoker, alcohol consumption in gr/week physical exercise (METs-min 14 days), diet quality index, mean blood pressure, atherogenic index (Total Cholesterol/HDL-Cholesterol), HbA1c and antihypertensive and lipid-lowering drugs
