Stepwise regression included the radial artery pulse wave variables and age, sex, BMI, blood pressure and pulse pressure (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 who entered into the model.
