Correlation Between Peripheral Blood Pressure and Pulse-Wave Velocity Values in the Institutionalized Elderly Persons 80 Years of Age and Older: The PARTAGE Study
Key result
Peripheral blood pressure showed significant but weak correlations with pulse-wave velocity in institutionalized adults over 80 years of age (r=0.30 for casual systolic blood pressure).
Why the study?
What is the correlation between peripheral blood pressure and pulse-wave velocity in institutionalized elderly persons over 80 years of age?
Population
1,071 nursing-home residents over 80 years of age in France and Italy.

Implication
Weak BP-PWV links caution against equating the measures in octogenarians; leaves open PWV's added prognostic value in this group.

Population
1,130 nursing-home residents over 80 years of age in France and Italy, followed for 2 years.

Outcome
Correlation between baseline peripheral blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressure) and baseline carotid-femoral pulse-wave velocity (PWV).surrogate
Main Result
Effect estimate: r = 0.30 for casual SBP
In institutionalized individuals over 80 years of age, peripheral blood pressure and pulse-wave velocity are only weakly correlated, suggesting they provide distinct clinical information regarding arterial stiffness.

Miljkovic et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Arterial stiffness (n=1,130). Peripheral blood pressure was evaluated on Correlation between baseline peripheral blood pressure and baseline pulse-wave velocity (r = 0.30 for casual SBP). Peripheral blood pressure showed significant but weak correlations with pulse-wave velocity in institutionalized adults over 80 years of age (r=0.30 for casual systolic blood pressure).
