Arterial stiffness and blood pressure (BP) both increase with aging synchronously. Whether
elevated BP results from thickening of arterial wall or vice versa is controversial in previous …

Although blood pressure and age are major determinants of arterial stiffness, it is still
unclear whether agerelated changes in arterial stiffness are similar among subjects with …

Objective: Arterial stiffness occurs as a consequence of age and arteriosclerosis, but the
mechanics of the progression of arterial stiffness along with age is not fully explored. We aim …

BACKGROUND To determine whether prediabetes and diabetes in older adults are
associated with arterial stiffness measured in central and peripheral arteries and to examine …

Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), a marker of arterial stiffness, is an established
independent cardiovascular risk factor. Little information is available on the pattern and …

The age-associated increase in arterial stiffness has long been considered to parallel or to
cause the age-associated increase in blood pressure (BP). Yet, the rates at which pulse …

Background Arterial stiffening is central to the vascular ageing process and a powerful
predictor and cause of diverse vascular pathologies and mortality. We investigated age and …

Experimental studies conducted on animal and human endothelium suggested that higher
systolic blood pressure (SBP) variability reduces bioavailability of nitric oxide and increases …

We investigated the predictive value of arterial stiffness to assess cardiovascular risk in
elderly community-dwelling people by means of a multivariate Cox model. In 298 people …

Mitchell Arterial Stiffness and Hypertension 211 in PP that is associated with high incidence
of predominantly systolic hypertension in older people. One of the foregoing studies of …
