Determinants of pulse wave velocity trajectories from youth to young adulthood: the Georgia Stress and Heart Study.


ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Increased arterial stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been shown to be an important parameter of cardiovascular risk. Longitudinal development of PWV from youth to early adulthood and its possible sociodemographic, anthropometric, hemodynamic and behavioral moderators will be illustrated. METHODS:Individual growth curves of carotid-distal PWV across age were created for 559 African American and European American men and women with a maximum of five assessments over an average of 7-year follow-up (mean age at participants' first assessment, 22.3?±?3.4). RESULTS:African Americans and men had significantly higher PWV than did European Americans and women (Ps?
