Abstract P181: Lung Function and Arterial Stiffness in Apparently Healthy Men and Women: The Kangbuk Samsung Health Study

摘要: Introduction: The association between lung function and arterial stiffness in young middle-aged asymptomatic adults is uncertain. Hypothesis: We assessed the hypothesis that declining associated with increasing a large sample of middle-age men women. Methods: Cross-sectional study 95,705 women without history cardiovascular disease, obstructive or cancer who underwent health screening examination during 2006 - 2012. Prediction equations were used to estimate percentage predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) expiratory volume one second (FEV1) from age-, height-, weight-adjusted population norms. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was obtained bilateral brachial posterior tibial artery pressure waveforms recorded using oscillometric method. Results: mean age participants 42.7 years 40.7 women; 63.9% men. In mult...
