Table 3. Age group comparisons for arterial elasticity indices. Data are means (±SD) adjusted for body mass index. Age Groups LAEI (ml/mmHg x100) SAEI (ml/mmHg x100) 35-40 (n =13) 17.7 (5.9) 7.1 (2.2) 41-45 (n = 14) 14.2 (2.9) 5.9 (1.9) 46-54 (n = 16) 12.7 (2.6) * 5.3 (1.9) * p < 0.05 compared with 35-40 age group. Abbreviations: LAEI= Large artery elasticity index, SAEI = Small artery elasticity index.
