Abstract EN
Aim.
Metabolic syndrome is characterized by a cluster of atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk factors.
The cardioankle vascular index (CAVI) reflects arterial stiffness and may be used as an indicator of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
In this study, we investigated the association of CAVI with metabolic syndrome.
Methods.
A total of 1,144 adults were included in this study.
We measured CAVIs and examined blood samples to identify metabolic syndrome according to WHO Asia Pacific criteria and NCEP-ATPIII criteria.
AST, ALT, r-GTP, BUN, creatinine, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, and uric acid were also measured.
Results.
CAVI values were significantly higher in subjects with metabolic syndrome than those without metabolic syndrome and increased according to the number of metabolic syndrome components present.
Subjects with high fasting blood sugar levels or high blood pressure showed high CAVI values.
Multiple regression analysis showed that age, sex, diastolic blood pressure, and uric acid were independent predictors of CAVI.
Conclusion.
Subjects with metabolic syndrome had high CAVIs, which indicated arterial stiffness, and were closely associated with an increase in the number of metabolic risk factors.
The individual risk factors for metabolic syndrome have the synergistic effect of elevating arterial stiffness in asymptomatic Korean population.
