Model 1 was a crude model. Model 2 was adjusted for age and gender. Model 3 was adjusted for age, gender, history of smoking and drinking, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglycerides, and hemoglobin A1c. VHI: Vascular health index; ABI: Ankle brachial index; TcPO₂: Transcutaneous oxygen pressure; PWV: Pulse wave velocity; cIMT: Carotid intima media thickness; Sβ: Standardized regression coefficient.
