| Research Abstract |
In this study, we have demonstrated that a brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), a simple and practical method for assessing arterial stiffness, is related to adiposity and its associated metabolic abnormalities among boys and girls in adolescence, suggesting baPWV is useful in investigating early arterial wall changes in this population. Moreover, we have proposed the sex- and age-specific standard values of baPWV to identify persons who have increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and therefore should be subjected to further observation and consideration of health management.
