Implication

Sex differences in arterial stiffness markers merit sex-adjusted norms; cross-sectional data leave open prognostic relevance.

Structured PICO

Population

1,588 subjects aged 17-87 years (mean age: 46.5; 51% women) from the Korean Arterial Aging Study (KAAS), a multicenter registry from 13 university hospitals in Korea. Includes apparently healthy subjects without risk factors and high-risk subjects with smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia but without drug treatment.

Outcome

Markers of arterial stiffness: central augmentation index (AIx), aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), and pulse pressure (PP) amplificationsurrogate

Markers of arterial stiffness differ significantly between men and women, with women showing higher central augmentation index and men showing higher aortic pulse wave velocity and pulse pressure amplification.
