  • Correlation between Metabolic Syndrome and Arterial Stiffness in Elderly People: A Population-based Study in Communities of Northern Shanghai

    ObjectiveTo investigate the association between metabolic syndrome and arterial stiffness in elderly people. Methods1 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. ResultsCf-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). ConclusionArterial stiffness is significantly associated with metabolic syndrome and the accumulation of its diagnostic measurements.

  • Association of Arterial Stiffness with Cardiovascular Risk Factors: the Northern Shanghai Study

    ObjectiveTo investigate the association of arterial stiffness with cardiovascular risk factors. MethodsFrom July 2014 to August 2015, 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) was measured by SphygmoCor device. Cardiovascular risk factors were assessed by questionnaire, anthropometry or conventional biochemical measurements. SPSS 20.0 was applied for data management and statistical analysis. ResultsCf-PWV was significantly associated with cardiovascular risk factors (P<0.001). Moreover, with the accumulating cardiovascular risk factors, cf-PWV increased gradually and significantly (P<0.001). The increasing trend remained significant in all participants, in men and in women, respectively. ConclusionArterial stiffness is significantly associated with cardiovascular risk factors and their accumulation.
