Why the study?
The association between estimated pulse wave velocity, dynamic changes in estimated pulse wave velocity, and all-cause mortality in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals required clarification.
Does increased estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) or its progression associate with all-cause mortality in middle-aged and elderly Chinese?
Population
Middle-aged and elderly Chinese from CHARLS
Comparison
Levels of ePWV and dynamic changes in ePWV

ePWV and ΔePWV may aid mortality stratification in middle-aged Chinese; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective validation before practice change.
Does increased estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) or its progression associate with all-cause mortality in middle-aged and elderly Chinese?
Increased estimated pulse wave velocity and its progression are independently associated with higher all-cause mortality in middle-aged and elderly Chinese.
