Key result
Arterial stiffness is linked to incident diabetes and prediabetes.
Why the study?
This study aimed to investigate whether oscillometrically assessed arterial stiffness is associated with incident diabetes or prediabetes.
Does oscillometrically estimated baseline arterial stiffness predict incident diabetes and prediabetes in a general population cohort?
Cohort (n=4,240)
Does oscillometrically estimated baseline arterial stiffness predict incident diabetes and prediabetes in a general population cohort?
p-value: p==0.01
Baseline arterial stiffness measured by oscillometric aortic pulse wave velocity is positively associated with incident diabetes and prediabetes.
Arterial stiffness may flag higher diabetes risk; leaves open causal role and need for validation trials.
AIMS: This large population-based study aimed to investigate whether arterial stiffness, assessed oscillometrically, was associated with incident diabetes/prediabetes. METHODS: The study sample comprised 4240 participants from the Vitamin D Assessment (ViDA) Study (mean±SD age = 66 ± 8). Arterial stiffness was assessed from 5 April 2011-6 November 2012 by way of aortic PWV (aPWV) and estimated carotid-femoral PWV (ecfPWV). Incident diabetes/prediabetes was determined by linkage to dispensed prescription and national hospital discharge registers. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to assess the risk of diabetes/prediabetes in relation to chosen arterial stiffness measures both overall and over quartiles. RESULTS: =0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Arterial stiffness, as measured by aPWV may be a useful predictor of incident diabetes that can be utilized in clinical practice.

Beros et al. (2024) conducted a cohort in Incident diabetes and prediabetes (n=4,240). Arterial stiffness (aPWV and ecfPWV) was evaluated on Incident diabetes/prediabetes (p==0.01). Arterial stiffness, as measured by aortic pulse wave velocity, was significantly associated with incident diabetes and prediabetes (p=0.01).
