Population
4,445 subjects from a Chinese population
Comparison
Presence of metabolic syndrome and its components vs Absence of MS or fewer MS components
Design
Cross-sectional

Metabolic syndrome components were associated with higher baPWV; hypothesis-generating but should not yet change practice.
Is metabolic syndrome associated with increased arterial stiffness as measured by baPWV in a Chinese population?
Metabolic syndrome and its components are significantly associated with increased arterial stiffness, suggesting baPWV monitoring may help identify high-risk individuals.
Hai-feng et al. (2014) studied this question.
