Key result
Sedentary behavior links to greater local carotid stiffness in patients with SBP >134 mmHg.
Why the study?
Is objectively measured sedentary behavior associated with arterial stiffness?
Observational
Is objectively measured sedentary behavior associated with arterial stiffness?
Effect estimate: β 4.83 (95% CI 1.39-8.27)
p-value: p=0.006
Objectively measured sedentary behavior is associated with local carotid stiffness in individuals with higher systolic blood pressure or high levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
Sedentary behavior should not yet change practice; leaves open whether it causally drives carotid stiffness in high-BP or high-MVPA adults.
(β = 4.83 (1.39, 8.27), p = 0.006) in participants with SBP > 134 mmHg or > 103 min/day of MVPA (β = 0.23 (0.03, 0.42), p = 0.024 and β = 3.55 (0.82, 6.29), p = 0.011, respectively). We found no association of objectively measured SB with central arterial stiffness. However, SB was positively associated with local carotid stiffness in participants with higher SBP or MVPA levels. In certain subgroups, SB may affect carotid arterial stiffening, reinforcing the relation between SB and cardiovascular disease.

Sluijs et al. (2024) conducted an observational in Arterial Stiffness. Objectively measured sedentary behavior was evaluated on Central arterial stiffness and local carotid stiffness (β 4.83, 95% CI 1.39-8.27, p=0.006). Objectively measured sedentary behavior was positively associated with local carotid stiffness in participants with SBP >134 mmHg (β=4.83; P=0.006) or >103 min/day of MVPA.
