Key result
Age- and sex-specific baPWV cutoffs identify moderate and high cardiovascular risk groups.
Why the study?
What are the optimal cutoff values of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) for identifying moderate- and high-atherosclerotic risk by age and sex in the Japanese general population?

What are the optimal cutoff values of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) for identifying moderate- and high-atherosclerotic risk by age and sex in the Japanese general population?
Age- and sex-specific baPWV cutoff values based on the Suita score can help identify Japanese individuals at moderate to high risk for coronary heart disease.
May aid age-/sex-specific risk stratification in Japanese adults; extends baPWV–Suita correlations but leaves prospective validation open.
We demonstrated that baPWV significantly correlated with the Suita score or Framingham risk score in both men and women, with the former presenting a stronger correlation than the latter. We propose the cutoff values of baPWV for moderate- and high-risk groups estimated using the Suita score.

Mori et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Atherosclerosis (n=25,602). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was evaluated on Cutoff values of baPWV for moderate and high-risk groups. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) cutoff values for moderate and high-risk groups were proposed as 1,350 cm/s in the 40s, 1,430 cm/s in the 50s, 1,520 cm/s in the 60s, and 1,880 cm/s in the 70s for men and 1,350 cm/s in the 40s, 1,430 cm/s in the 50s, 1,570 cm/s in the 60s, and 1,800 cm/s in the 70s for women.
