Mild Positive Correlation between BMI and Pulse Wave Velocity in Adult Male: An Observational Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Studies suggested obesity results in cardio-vascular disease (CVD) risk which is also associated with increased pulse wave velocity (PWV). We performed this study in western Rajasthan, India to assess association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and PWV. Seventy seven healthy non-smoker, male participant, age 20 to 40 years, examined for BMI. Right and Left brachial ankle (ba) PWV, Carotid-Femoral (cf) PWV and Augmentation Index at Heart Rate 75/min (AIx@HR75) as indices of arterial stiffness are measured non-invasively using an oscillometeric device PeriScope. Pearson’s Correlation Coefficients (r) between BMI and indices of arterial stiffness were found 0.356, 0.219, 0.316 and r=0.31 for Right ba PWV, Left ba PWV, CF PWV and AIx@HR75 respectively. All Simple linear regressions were significantly correlated (p<0.05) except between BMI and Left ba PWV (p>0.05). The present study concluded PWVs and BMI is mild to moderately associate in male adult of western Rajasthan.
