Table 4 Multivariable linear regression. PWV as a function of the proteins with factor loadings (> 0.4) on principal component 3. Established risk factors of atherosclerosis are included in the multivariable model

From: IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-2 are associated with a decreased pulse-wave velocity in young, healthy adults
