Is serum high molecular weight adiponectin associated with arterial stiffness in community-dwelling older adults?
Lower serum high molecular weight adiponectin levels are independently associated with increased arterial stiffness, suggesting a potential role in cardiovascular risk assessment.
Kawamoto et al. (2011) studied this question.
