| Research Abstract |
A total of 2, 916 community-dwelling Japanese individuals without history of cardiovascular disease(CVD) aged. 40 years were followed up for an average of 7. 1 years. A higher brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV) level is associated with increased risk of the development of CVD. The association of baPWV level with CVD risk was substantially unchanged even after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Additionally, baPWV improved the risk assessment for future cardiovascular events as compared with known risk factors. These findings highlight the clinical value of baPWV among general populations.
