Arterial stiffness is a recognized predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and death. It is an
early indicator of arteriosclerosis and is influenced by numerous risk factors and biological …

Background Childhood obesity is a major cardiovascular risk factor because it predisposes
individuals to comorbidities that are implicated in an increased risk of cardiovascular events …

Introduction Childhood obesity leads to early subclinical atherosclerosis and arterial
stiffness. Studying biomarkers like trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), linked to cardio …

Obese children present a higher cardio-metabolic risk. Measuring vascular biomarkers that
assess the evolution of arterial stiffness, subclinical atherosclerosis, and hypertension in …

Childhood obesity speeds up the development of arterial stiffness and progressively
increases the values of arterial pressure. The purpose of this study is to investigate the value …

Introduction Obesity in adults is a known risk factor for cardiovascular events and is
associated with a decline in arterial elasticity. This study aims to evaluate the utility of pulse …

Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) is a nonlinear multiphysics phenomenon that describes the
interactions between incompressible fluid flows and immersed structures, making it …

Background: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a known predictor of target organ damage,
cardiovascular disease and overall mortality. The aim of this study was to compare the PWV …

Objectives To compare the glycemic index (GI), obesity, echocardiographic, and arterial
stiffness measurements with the healthy control group to evaluate the cardiovascular risk of …

Indigenous Peoples is a collective term for the original peoples of North America, and their
