Key result
Metabolic syndrome was associated with significantly higher brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity compared to men without the syndrome (1,563 vs 1,362 cm/sec by IDF criteria; p<0.001).
Why the study?
Does the presence of metabolic syndrome defined by new IDF and Japanese criteria associate with increased brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in healthy Japanese men?
Cross-Sectional (n=377)
No
Does the presence of metabolic syndrome defined by new IDF and Japanese criteria associate with increased brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in healthy Japanese men?
Absolute Event Rate: 1563% vs 1362%
p-value: p=<0.001
The new IDF and Japanese criteria for metabolic syndrome effectively identify individuals with increased arterial stiffness, as measured by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, in Japanese men.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports arterial stiffness evaluation in Japanese male workers with metabolic syndrome; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Miyaki et al. (2006) conducted a cross-sectional in Metabolic syndrome (n=377). Metabolic syndrome vs. No metabolic syndrome was evaluated on Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) (p=<0.001). Metabolic syndrome was associated with significantly higher brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity compared to men without the syndrome (1,563 vs 1,362 cm/sec by IDF criteria; p<0.001).
