Association of time spent in physical activities and sedentary behaviors with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Atherosclerosis | Feb 02, 2018
Germano-Soares AH, et al. - This inquiry was set up to examine the link between objectively measured light physical activity (LPA), moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA), and sedentary behavior (SB) with the gold standard measurement of arterial stiffness, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV). Findings demonstrated that time spent in light and moderate physical activities was associated with lower arterial stiffness, while time spent in SB was found to be associated with higher arterial stiffness. This indicated that PA at any intensity was favorable for arterial stiffness, whereas SB resulted in increased arterial stiffness. Keeping in mind the independent prognostic value of cfPWV, these links may have important clinical implications.
