研究显示中心性肥胖与较高的颈股动脉脉搏波传导速度(pulse wave velocity,PWV)相关。然而由于较大的腰围,通过体表测得的传导距离被大大高估了。该研究旨在探讨中心性肥胖是否引起PWV估计的偏误以及这种偏误是否能够解释PWV和不同肥胖指标的相关性。方法:纳入711名(49.5%男性)巴尔的摩老年化纵向研究中应用计算机断层扫描和双能X线
Studies have shown that central obesity is associated with higher carotid artery pulse wave velocity (PWV). However, the conduction distance measured by the body surface is greatly overestimated due to the larger waist circumference. The aim of this study was to investigate whether central obesity triggers a bias in estimating PWV and whether such bias can explain the association between PWV and different obesity indicators. METHODS: A total of 711 (49.5%) Baltimore longitudinal longitudinal studies included computer tomography and dual energy X-ray
