Globally, obesity is affecting an increasing proportion of children. Physical activity plays an
important role in the prevention of becoming overweight and obese in childhood and …

Increased arterial stiffness associated with diabetes and the metabolic syndrome may in part
explain the increased cardiovascular disease risk observed in these conditions. Arterial …

Abstract Background Triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index, a simple surrogate marker of insulin
resistance, has been reported to be associated with arterial stiffness. However, previous …

Our understanding of the relationship between physical activity and health is constantly
evolving. Therefore, the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences convened a …

Endothelial dysfunction and low-grade inflammation are associated with cardiovascular
disease. Arterial stiffening plays an important role in cardiovascular disease and, thus, may …

Elevated large artery stiffness and pulse pressure have emerged as important risk factors for
cardiovascular disease. The genders differ in large artery biomechanical properties …

OBJECTIVE: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is associated with subclinical atherosclerosis, but the
relative role of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is largely unknown. The main objective of …

Aims/hypothesis Non-invasive measures of aortic stiffness reflect vascular senescence and
predict outcome in diabetes. Glucose-mediated elastic artery sclerosis may play an integral …

Aims We evaluated whether specific clusters of metabolic syndrome (MetS) components
differentially impact on arterial structure and function, and whether the impact is similar in …

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between arterial stiffness and low-grade
inflammation in subjects with type 1 diabetes without clinical cardiovascular disease …
