Beyond Fat Mass: Lean Mass and Aortic Stiffness Across Sex and BMI in the CARTaGENE Cohort (SUPPLEMENTAL METHODS AND TABLES)

It describes the standardized measurement of waist circumference and height, blood pressure assessment, radial applanation tonometry, waveform extraction using a custom MATLAB-based algorithm, and estimation of aortic pulse wave velocity using the ARCSolver algorithm. Table S-1 : Baseline demographic, clinical, anthropometric, cardiovascular, metabolic, and medication characteristics of the study cohort, stratified by sex and body mass index category.

Table S-2 : This table presents the associations of waist circumference, fat mass, and lean mass with aortic pulse wave velocity, stratified by sex and body mass index category. Results are reported across adjusted and sensitivity models as standardized beta coefficients with 95% confidence intervals and corresponding P values. Table S-3 : This table presents the associations of waist circumference, fat mass, and lean mass with aortic pulse wave velocity among women across body mass index categories, with additional adjustment for menopausal status and menopausal hormone therapy use.
