Stepwise regression included the radial artery pulse wave variables; age, sex, and BMI (model 1); and, additionally, use of duration time of hypertension, history of taking antihypertensive drugs, and the controlling condition of blood pressure (model 2). The partial regression coefficient B, 95% CI of B, and standard regression coefficient β are shown for parameters entered into the model.
