Associations between Pulse Wave Velocity, Aortic Vascular Calcification, and Bone Mineral Density in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients and General Population

Table 2

Variation of PWV and AAC according to absolute hip BMD in the GPP and the CHP.

GPP, CHP	GPP		CHP
BMD (g/cm^2)	PWV (m/s)	AAC	PWV (m/s)	AAC
<0.7	12.0±1.0	6.4±0.9	12.5±2.5	9.5±5.7
0.7–0.9	9.1±2.2	1.9±2.8	11.7±2.4	8.0±5.7
>0.9	8.9±1.5	1.7±2.1	11.2±2.0	6.6±4.7

GPP: general population patients; CHP: chronic hemodialysis patients; BMD: bone mineral density; PWV: pulse wave velocity; AAC: abdominal aortic calcification.
