MV: mean value. SD: standard deviation. SBP, MBP, DBP, and PP: systolic pulse pressure, mean pulse pressure, diastolic pulse pressure, and pulse pressure. HR: heart rate. A-CIMT: common carotid artery intima media thickness average value. A-CCA: common carotid artery diameter average value. Average values are the mean of left and right measurements. Statistics: t-test (unpaired, two-tailed) analyzed differences between males and females. was considered statistically significant.
