Figure 3

Progression of PWV after 6 years in the different decades. Blue box plots represent pulse wave velocities (PWV) in m/s at baseline, red box plots represent values six years later of the same study participants (lower and upper hinges correspond to the 25th and 75th percentiles). Please note that age on the x axis represents age of subjects at baseline. Values of females are given in the upper, those of males are given in the lower row.
