Objective To investigate the association between metabolic syndrome and arterial stiffness in elderly people. Methods 1 599 participants aged over 65 years old were recruited from 10 communities located in the northern Shanghai. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) of each participant was measured by SphygmoCor device. Measurements for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome were all investigated for each participant. SPSS 20.0 was used for data management and statistical analysis. Results Cf-PWV was significantly associated with metabolic syndrome and its diagnostic measurements (P<0.001). Moreover, with the accumulating diagnostic measurements, cf-PWV increased gradually and significantly. The increasing trend remained significant in all participants, in men and in women (P<0.001). Conclusion Arterial stiffness is significantly associated with metabolic syndrome and the accumulation of its diagnostic measurements.
