2. Fig. 1
Association between cardiovascular risk factors and pulse wave velocity (PWV) in young adults (aged 30–45 years, n=1754) according to age- and sex-specific quartiles of brachial flow-mediated dilation. Risk factors were defined as values at or above the age- and sex-specific 80th percentile for BMI, LDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure or fasting insulin. For low HDL cholesterol, the age- and sex-specific 20th percentile cut-off point was used. Smoking was defined as a risk factor if the subject was smoking on a daily basis. Dashed line represents mean for PWV. The number of subjects is shown under the columns.
