Key result
In Korean women, improvement in brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity was significantly associated with decreases in systolic blood pressure and HbA1c, while its worsening was associated with increases in diastolic blood pressure, age, and systolic blood pressure.

BaPWV changes track SBP and HbA1c in Korean women; hypothesis-generating and should not yet alter practice or guidelines.
Observational (n=626)

In healthy Korean women, changes in brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity over a 1.3-year period are primarily driven by changes in systolic blood pressure and HbA1c levels.
Kim et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Healthy women undergoing health screening (n=626). Changes in cardiovascular risk factors was evaluated on Determinants of changes in brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). In Korean women, improvement in brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity was significantly associated with decreases in systolic blood pressure and HbA1c, while its worsening was associated with increases in diastolic blood pressure, age, and systolic blood pressure.
