A Novel Use of Structural Equation Modeling to Examine Life-style and Cardio-metabolic Factors Associated With Micro-vascular Endothelial Dysfunction in Middle-aged Chinese Males
Abstract:Objective: The present study aims to use structural equation modeling with multiple regression pathways to examine direct and indirect association of potential behavioral (diet, physical activity and sleep) and cardio-metabolic risk factors with micro-vascular endothelial dysfunction (ED) among middle-aged Chinese males.Methods: The study was conducted in 306 middle-aged Chinese males, who underwent a health checkup between 2018 and 2019. Data on life-style behavior factors (physical activity, diet pattern, sl… Show more
