Is metabolic syndrome associated with increased arterial stiffness in Caucasian adults with intermediate cardiovascular risk?
Is metabolic syndrome associated with increased arterial stiffness in Caucasian adults with intermediate cardiovascular risk?
Metabolic syndrome and its components, particularly high blood pressure, are associated with increased arterial stiffness in Caucasian adults, with a stronger association observed in males.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High BP in MetS was associated with greater arterial stiffness odds; leaves open causal links and need for longitudinal outcome studies in intermediate-risk adults.
Gómez‐Sánchez et al. (2016) studied this question.
