Figure 2

Stiffness Index (SI) values in study's population. This figure depicts a categorization of stiffness index values and number of participants in our study population according to age-decade only. No significant decline in stiffness index was seen in women (premenopausal and postmenopausal) below 50 years. This parameter exhibits a fall pattern especially after the 6^th decade as seen in the figure (p = 0.001).
