The Temporal Pattern of Arterial Stiffness during Aging: A Large-Scale Cross-Sectional Study

Figure 1

The temporal patterns of baPWV in male and female cohorts. The trend of higher baPWV values in males directly corresponded with age and continued until age 60, of which then the baPWV values of both males and females began to converge. At age 50, female cohorts began to show a faster rate of baPWV elevation. Significance level: (), (), and ().
