  1. β and P values are for brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity. Following clinical covariates were controlled as potential confounders: age, sex, and cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and cigarette smoking
  2. HFrEF Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, HFpEF Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
