Key result
Fasting serum osteopontin concentration was an independent predictor of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity levels in geriatric persons (β = 0.233, P = 0.011).
Why the study?
Does fasting serum osteopontin concentration correlate with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity in geriatric persons?
Cross-Sectional (n=93)

Effect estimate: β = 0.233
p-value: p=0.011
Serum osteopontin levels are independently associated with increased arterial stiffness, as measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, in geriatric individuals.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May link osteopontin to arterial stiffness in older adults; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Lee et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Geriatric persons (n=93). Fasting serum osteopontin (OPN) concentration was evaluated on carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) (β = 0.233, p=0.011). Fasting serum osteopontin concentration was an independent predictor of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity levels in geriatric persons (β = 0.233, P = 0.011).
