Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The difference in the participation rate of specific health guidance after health checkups and the participation rate of health checkups in the following year depending on whether subjects take the CAVI test or not.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
A) Changes in CAVI tests results over time and their factors. B) Relationship between initial CAVI and blood pressure values and subsequent development of cardiovascular disease (diagnosis of hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, atrial fibrillation, peripheral artery disease, heart failure, and others). C) Relationship between the initial CAVI value and the rate of patients requiring further examination and treatment. D) Relationship between the initial CAVI value and the participation rate in the specific health guidance and the rate of health checkups in the following year. E) Comparison of the background of subjects with and without CAVI F) Differences in the results of health examinations in the following and subsequent years depending on whether the subjects take CAVI tests or not. G) Level of involvement of information on vascular health in motivating people to undergo health checkups and seek medical care.	—
