“…However, few studies have compared the efficacy of BMI, WC, and WHR to predict the risk of subclinical atherosclerosis, represented by baPWV and CIMT values, in pre/postmenopausal women. Both baPWV and CIMT values have proven to be consistent and independent predictors for cardiovascular event in prospective studies [31]. In the present study, we showed that BMI was significantly correlated with baPWV and CIMT values only in the premenopausal women, not in the postmenopausal women.…”

“…Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and arterial stiffness are useful surrogate markers for subclinical atherosclerosis and are significantly correlated with various metabolic risk factors [15,16]. In prospective studies, both arterial stiffness and carotid IMT have proven to be consistent and independent predictors for cardiovascular events [17]. Recently, Dall Pozza et al [18] showed that longitudinal carotid IMT is indicative of disease progression during a four year period, even in adolescents with type 1 diabetes, and that brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is a non-invasive method for quickly measuring arterial stiffness that is not influenced by operator technique [19].…”

“…Carotid intima media thickness measurement (cIMT) is another non-invasive method used to identify subclinical vascular carotid disease. cIMT reflects structural rather than functional changes in the arterial wall [17,28,29]. Normally, values increase with age; however, evidence of the acceleration of cIMT progression has been shown in the presence of metabolic disorders such as diabetes; in a meta-analysis including 24,111 patients from 24 studies, Brohall et al showed an additional mean cIMT increase of 0.13 mm in DM2 patients, suggesting a higher relative risk for cardiovascular events [30].…”
