Key result
Noninvasive measures of vascular health, specifically carotid artery IMT and whole-body PWV, demonstrated substantial reliability in preschool-aged children (ICCs of 0.86 and 0.76, respectively).
Why the study?
Are noninvasive measures of vascular health reliable in preschool-aged children?
Observational (n=20)
Are noninvasive measures of vascular health reliable in preschool-aged children?
Effect estimate: ICC 0.86 for IMT and 0.76 for PWV
Noninvasive vascular measurements, particularly carotid artery IMT and PWV, demonstrate substantial reliability in preschool-aged children as young as 2 years.

Supports carotid IMT and PWV for preschool vascular research; leaves open clinical adoption pending outcome validation.
Currie et al. (2010) reported an observational. Noninvasive measures of vascular health was evaluated on Reliability of vascular measures assessed using coefficient of variation (CV) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) (ICC 0.86 for IMT and 0.76 for PWV). Noninvasive measures of vascular health, specifically carotid artery IMT and whole-body PWV, demonstrated substantial reliability in preschool-aged children (ICCs of 0.86 and 0.76, respectively).
