Table 5 Results of logistic regression analysis performed to examine the significance of the SAGE score to identify subjects with brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity values of ≥ 1800 cm/s in subjects with hypertension from the three study cohorts For predicting baPWV ≥1800 cm/s in the study subjects with hypertension from the occupational cohort (n = 186/1019)

From: Usefulness of the SAGE score to predict elevated values of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in Japanese subjects with hypertension
