Abstract:Objectives
Suboptimal diet is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is implicated in the etiology of vascular dysfunction. Arterial stiffness is a pathological vascular change that is associated with higher subsequent risk of CVD. This study aims to investigate the cross-sectional association between diet quality and arterial stiffness, as assessed by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV).
