BMI: Body mass index, HDL: High-density lipoproteins, LDL: Low-density lipoprotein. SBP: Systolic blood pressure; DBP: Diastolic blood pressure; MBP: Mean blood pressure. PP: Pulse pressure. Male versus Females: *p < 0.05; #: p < 0.01 (unpaired t test); Ψp < 0.05 with respect to non-invasive central SBP and DBP; respectively (paired t test). In females: £p < 0.01 with respect non- invasive central SBP; §P < 0.001 with respect to non-invasive central DBP and PP; respectively (paired t test). Males versus Females: ap < 0.05; bp < 0.01; cp < 0.001 (unpaired t test).
