Fig. 1 Relationships of the adjusted values of the rAI, SBP2, baPWV and serum CRP levels with the serum O6FA levels. Abbreviations: SBP2=second peak of the radial systolic pressure waveform; rAI=radial augmentation index; baPWV=brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity; CRP=serum C-reactive protein levels; AA=serum arachidonic acid level; DGLA=serum dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid level; T1=serum omega 6 fatty acid levels in the lowest tertile; T3=serum omega 6 fatty acid levels in the highest tertile; *=p<0.05 vs. values in the first (lowest) tertile; the covariates used for the adjustments are described in the text.
