Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the relationship between arterial stiffness and risk factors of cardiovascular disease(CVD) in a community based middle-aged overweight/obese population.Methods The study was carried out in 939 middle-aged overweight/obese subjects selected according to body mass index(BMI) from Shanghai Lujiazui community during July and August 2009.The anklebrachial pulse wave velocity(baPWV) was used to evaluate arterial stiffness; the correlation between CVD risk factors and baPWV was assessed by Pearson correlation coefficient; the binary logistic regression analysis was used to assess the independent risk factors of arterial stiffness.Results There were significant differences in age,gender,waist circumference,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure and other variables between high arterial stiffness group and normal arterial stiffness group.The baPWV was correlated with age(r=0.546,P=0.000),waist circumference(r=0.148,P=0.000),systolic blood pressure(r= 0.520,P=0.000),diastolic blood pressure(r=0.275,P=0.000),total cholesterol(TC)(r=0.126,P =0.000),fasting glucose(r=0.218,P=0.000) and glycosylated hemoglobin(r=0.172,P=0.000).After sex,BMI,history of diabetes,history of dyslipidemia and renal function were adjusted the variables independently associated with baPWV were history of hypertension(OR=3.996,P=0.000,95% CI:2.821~5.661),triglycerides(TG)(OR=1.428,P=0.000,95% CI:1.201~1.698) and age(OR=5.35,P=0.000,95% CI:3.728~7.676).Conclusion Age,history of hypertension and triglcerides are the independent risk factors of increased arterial stiffness in overweight/obese population and the elevated baPWV can predict the risk of cardiovascular disease to some extent.
