Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, especially when
excess body fat is distributed preferentially within the abdominal region. Obese subjects …

Objective Adults with obesity or obesity-related type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are at higher risk for
cardiovascular disease possibly due to increased arterial stiffness. We sought to determine if …

Maternal obesity is associated with increased morbidity and mortality for both mother and
offspring. The mechanisms underlying the increased risk associated with maternal obesity …

Physiologically, macro‐and microcirculation differ markedly as macrocirculation deals with
pulsatile pressure and flow and microcirculation with steady pressure and flow. Various such …

Obese persons are at increased cardiovascular risk and exhibit increased arterial stiffness
and impaired endothelial function of large‐and medium‐size arteries. We hypothesized that …

Objective: Cardiovascular disease risk increases after menopause, which may be related to
insulin resistance, and arterial stiffness is a significant predictor of atherosclerosis. We …

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 488 Gujarati Indian
adolescents of 16-19 years age group. Adiposity was assessed in terms of BMI, Body Fat …

Experts1 consider aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) as the supreme index of arterial
stiffness, mainly because it is an independent predictor of cardiovascular complications. 2 …
