(A) Mean PWV data obtained combining the three populations (EHJ, IJH, JH5) and polynomial cubic curve describing the course of the PWV progression superimposed on the original published data. (B) Polynomial cubic curve (f(x) =0.0036x3−0.4852x2+13.677x+254.8) describing the number of days (if 365 at 20 years) necessary at different ages to produce the same amount of PWV progression obtained in 1 year at age 20. (C) Polynomial cubic curve describing the cumulative “relative” age in year equivalents if the 1-year change in PWV at age 20 is used as a reference to calculate the flow of time. Abbreviations: PWV, pulse wave velocity; EHJ, European Heart Journal; IJH, International Journal of Hypertension; JH, Journal of Hypertension.
