  1. Model 1: adjusted for age and gender.
  2. Model 2: adjusted for age, gender, education, smoking, alcohol status, physical activity, salt intake, BMI, mean arterial pressure (MAP), fasting blood glucose (FBG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and total cholesterol (TC).
  3. Model 3: adjusted for all the variables in model 2 and antidiabetic treatment, antihypertensive treatment and lipid-lowering treatment.
  4. BaPWV brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, AF atrial fibrillation.
  5. aParticipants with changes in BAPWV composition during follow-up were excluded (42,986).
