ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influential factors of brachial-ankle artery pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in healthy individuals.Methods Total 716 healthy subjects including 503 males and 213 females,who underwent health check up in 2010,were enrolled in the study Bilateral baPWV was examined in all subjects and multiple factor linear regression was applied to evaluate the correlations of baPWV with sex,age,body mass index,arterial blood pressure,ankle-brachial index and biochemical variables.Results The mean baPWV of 716 healthy subjecs was ( 1224 ± 162) cm/s,and there was significant difference between men and women [ ( 1257 ± 159) cm/s vs.( 1144 ± 143) cm/s].There was a significant linear correlation of baPWV with sex,age,mean arterial blood pressure and plasma homocysteine concentration ; and the linear regression equation wasmean PWV =6.635 × age + 7.285 × mean arterial blood pressure + 2.682 × homocysteine concentration - 64.334 × sex + 347.500 ( sexman =0,woman =1 ).Conclusion Age,sex,mean arterial blood pressure and plasma homocysteine concentration are independent influential factors of baPWV.
