Key result
Ankle-brachial index (OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.81-0.99 per 0.1 unit increase) and highest quartile of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (OR 1.18; 95% CI 1.04-1.47) were associated with albuminuria.
Why the study?
Are ankle-brachial index and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity associated with albuminuria in elderly community-based Han Chinese?
Population
2127 community-based Han Chinese subjects (860 men, 1267 women) aged 60 years and over in Beijing.

Cross-sectional

May support ABI/baPWV for albuminuria risk stratification in elderly Chinese; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Observational (n=2,127)
Are ankle-brachial index and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity associated with albuminuria in elderly community-based Han Chinese?
Odds Ratio: 0.89 (95% CI 0.81–0.99)
Lower ABI and higher baPWV are associated with an increased risk of albuminuria in elderly Chinese individuals, particularly those with hypertension and diabetes.
Xu et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Albuminuria (n=2,127). Ankle-brachial index (ABI) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) vs. Lower quartiles (for baPWV) was evaluated on Albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g) (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.81-0.99). Ankle-brachial index (OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.81-0.99 per 0.1 unit increase) and highest quartile of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (OR 1.18; 95% CI 1.04-1.47) were associated with albuminuria.
