Changes in baPWV from day 0. (a) All participants. (b) Stratified analysis of participants with baPWV < 1,400 cm/s on day 0. (c) Stratified analysis of participants with baPWV ≥ 1,400 cm/s on day 0. Error bars represent standard deviations. *P < 0.05, within-group comparison vs. day 0; †P < 0.05: between-group comparison; baPWV: brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; BCP: β-caryophyllene.

Correlations between baPWV on day 0 and the 12-week change in baPWV in the BCP (a) and placebo (b) groups. baPWV: brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; BCP: β-caryophyllene.
