A: Incidences of all-cause mortality, coronary artery events, and cerebrovascular events by quartiles of baPWV during the follow-up period. A: Incidences of all-cause mortality, coronary artery events, and cerebrovascular events by quartiles of baPWV during the follow-up period. Quartile 1, −14.40 m/s, n = 910; quartile 2, 14.41–16.69 m/s, n = 905; quartile 3, 16.70–19.75 m/s, n = 906; and quartile 4, ≥19.76 m/s, n = 907. P values for trend were determined by the Cochran-Armitage test. B: Kaplan-Meier survival curves for each outcome during the 5-year follow-up period. Comparison of the cumulative survival rate for all-cause mortality and the event-free survival rates for coronary artery events and cerebrovascular events between high baPWV (≥24.0 m/s) and low baPWV (<24.0 m/s). Differences between groups were analyzed using the log-rank test. Q1, quartile 1; Q2, quartile 2; Q3, quartile 3; Q4, quartile 4. Yasutaka Maeda et al.
