The participants were allowed to rest for 10 minutes before blood pressure (BP) measurements were taken. Duplicate brachial BP measurements were taken in the sitting position at 5-min intervals, using the validated OMRON M6 device (Omron Healthcare, Kyoto, Japan). An appropriate cuff size was used, and it was placed on the right arm over the brachial artery, with the arm supported at heart level and in a relaxed position. Pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure were calculated. Duplicate central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) was measured with the Sphygmocor XCEL device (Atcor Medical Pty. Ltd., Sydney, Australia), with the participant in the supine position.
M6 device
Manufactured by Omron
Sourced in Japan
The OMRON M6 device is a compact and portable blood pressure monitor. It is designed to measure and display the user's blood pressure and pulse rate. The device utilizes oscillometric measurement technology to provide accurate and reliable readings.

Data on demographics and other independent variables were collected at baseline. All variables were assessed using standardized devices and operating procedures. SBP was calculated using the mean of 2 measurements on the same arm, measured at least 5 minutes apart, performed with the electronic OMRON M6 device. Cholesterol levels were determined in local laboratories affiliated with the general practitioner (GP) practices. We computed non-HDL cholesterol levels for each participant by subtracting HDL cholesterol from TC values. Self-reported data on medical history and medication use were crosschecked with GPs' electronic health records. The ApoE genotype was determined at a central laboratory in the Amsterdam University Medical Center, location AMC. Data on education and smoking were self-reported and defined in line with the World Health Organization criteria.18 (link)

Systolic and diastolic BP (SBP and DBP) and HR were measured using the OMRON M6 device (Omron Healthcare, Kyoto, Japan). Participants were seated in an upright position with legs uncrossed. After participants had rested for 10 min, the correct cuff size was fitted on their right arms, whereafter two measurements were recorded with a 5-min interval. Data from the second measurement were used for analysis. Pulse pressure (PP) was then calculated as the difference between SBP and DBP. Large artery stiffness was investigated using the current gold standard measurement, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity [cfPWV (26 (link))], using the SphygmoCor XCEL device (AtCorMedical Pty. Ltd., Sydney, Australia). The transit-distance method was used to measure PWV along the descending thoracoabdominal aorta. Two readings were taken from each participant while supine. Data from the second reading were used.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
