Figures & data
Table 1. Characteristics of the participants at adolescence and adulthood by sex.
Table 2. Multivariate association between hemodynamic indices and single measures of blood pressure, measured at adolescence and young adulthood, with carotid IMT and arterial stiffness indices at young adulthood.
Figure 1. Logistical regression analysis between PP changes from adolescence and early pathological changes of carotid artery structure and stiffness in adulthood. Results are presented as Ln odds-ratio and 95% CI for representation purposes. IMT and stiffness indices are presented as risk categories (i.e. lowest sex-specific tertile for distensibility or highest tertile for stiffness index β). The persistently low PP category was used as the reference group [odds ratio (OR) = 1]. All data are adjusted for sex, mean arterial pressure and body mass index changes. PP: Pulse Pressure; IMT: Intima-Media Thickness; Ln: Logarithm; OR: Odds Ratio.
