(a) Changes in brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) values at baseline and after 3 years of follow-up. Comparisons between baseline and subsequent baPWV values were performed by unadjusted analysis. *P=0.02 vs. no depression. (b) ⊿baPWV values according to the presence of depression. ⊿baPWV values and depressive symptoms were compared by unadjusted analysis. *P=0.02 vs. no depression.
