Functional Fitness and Objectively Measured Movement Behaviors in Relation to Arterial Stiffness in Older Adults: Age Emerges as the Only Independent Correlate After Multivariable Adjustment
Background: Central arterial stiffness assessed by carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (PWVc-f) strongly predicts cardiovascular risk. We examined associations of objectively measured physical activity, sedentary behavior, and functional fitness with PWVc-f in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: The study include...
