Key result
Microalbuminuria was associated with significantly higher mean pulse wave velocity compared to normoalbuminuric subjects (933.8 vs 821.2 cm/s, p<0.0001), indicating advanced arterial stiffness.

Is microalbuminuria associated with increased arterial stiffness in a general population without cardiovascular disease?
Absolute Event Rate: 933.8% vs 821.2%
p-value: p=<0.0001
Microalbuminuria is an independent predictor of increased arterial stiffness in the general population, suggesting a link between early renal damage and advanced atherosclerosis.
Kohara et al. (2004) conducted a cross-sectional in General population (n=136). Microalbuminuria vs. Normoalbuminuria was evaluated on Mean pulse wave velocity (PWV) (p=<0.0001). Microalbuminuria was associated with significantly higher mean pulse wave velocity compared to normoalbuminuric subjects (933.8 vs 821.2 cm/s, p<0.0001), indicating advanced arterial stiffness.
