Key result
Metabolic syndrome components including systolic blood pressure (P=0.0001), fasting glycemia (P=0.0001), and HOMA-IR (P=0.0033) were independent determinants of pulse wave velocity.

Metabolic factors may influence arterial stiffness; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Cross-Sectional (n=136)
p-value: p=0.0001
Arterial hypertension, impaired carbohydrate metabolism, insulin resistance, and obesity are key components associated with increased vessel wall rigidity and cell aging.
Strajesko et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Metabolic syndrome risk factors (n=136). Metabolic syndrome components (age, waist circumference, systolic BP, HOMA-IR, fasting glycemia) was evaluated on Pulse wave velocity (PWV) (p=0.0001). Metabolic syndrome components including systolic blood pressure (P=0.0001), fasting glycemia (P=0.0001), and HOMA-IR (P=0.0033) were independent determinants of pulse wave velocity.
