  1. Variables are separated on sex and z-score transformed before inclusion in the multivariable model. PWV = Pulse-wave velocity. AIX = Augmentation index. cIMT = carotid intima media thickness. β = Beta coefficient. PC = Principal component. Apo B/ApoA-1 = Apolipoprotein B/Apolipoprotein A-1 ratio. TG = Triglycerides. HOMA-IR = Homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance. CRP = C-reactive protein. * indicates a p value < 0.05
