“…Before the measurement, the participants were asked to rest for at least 10 min, cfPWV was measured by Complior Analyzer (Alam Medical, Saint Quentin Fallavier, France) with the participants in supine position. 11 cfPWV was calculated according to the formula: PWV = d / t (m/s). The direct straight distance between right common carotid artery and right common femoral artery was measured by a tape.…”

Even though as a gold standard for noninvasive measurement of arterial stiffness, carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is not widely used in primary healthcare institutions due to time‐consuming and unavailable equipment. The aim of this study was to develop a convenient and low‐cost nomogram model for arterial stiffness screening. A cross‐sectional study was undertaken in the department of general practice, the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University. Arterial stiffness was defined as cfPWV ≥ 10 m/s. A total of 2717 participants were recruited to construct the nomogram using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and logistic regressions. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, decision curve analysis, clinical impact curve were used to evaluate the performance of the model. The model was validated internally and externally (399 participants) by bootstrap method. Arterial stiffness was identified in 913 participants (33.60%). Age, sex, waist to hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, duration of diabetes, heart rate were selected to construct the nomogram model. Good discrimination and accuracy were exhibited with area under curve of 0.820 (95% CI 0.803–0.837) in ROC curve and mean absolute error = 0.005 in calibration curve. A positive net benefit was shown in decision curve analysis and clinical impact curve. A satisfactory agreement was displayed in internal validation and external validation. The low cost and user‐friendly nomogram is suitable for arterial stiffness screening in primary healthcare institutions.

This review outlines the latest methods and innovations for assessing arterial stiffness, along with their respective advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, we present compelling evidence indicating a recent growth in research focused on assessing arterial stiffness using photoplethysmography (PPG) and propose PPG as a potential tool for assessing vascular ageing in the future. Blood vessels deteriorate with age, losing elasticity and forming deposits. This raises the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), widely reported as the global leading cause of death. The ageing process induces structural modifications in the vascular system, such as increased arterial stiffness, which can cause various volumetric, mechanical, and haemodynamic alterations. Numerous techniques have been investigated to assess arterial stiffness, some of which are currently used in commercial medical devices and some, such as PPG, of which still remain in the research space.

Obesity and overweight are closely related to cardiovascular mortality. Arterial stiffness is one of the important risks for cardiovascular diseases and is strongly related with the cardiovascular mortality. However, the relationship between obesity and arterial stiffness is still controversial. A cross-sectional study was performed to examine the relationship of body fat percentage (BFP), an indicator of obesity, with carotidfemoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) in 2603 subjects (aged 58.62 ± 11.27 years, male 71.07%, hypertension 64.89%). All participants were divided into four groups according to the gender and the presence of arterial stiffening based on a value ≥10 m/s of cfPWV(group1 : male with cfPWV <10 m/s, group2 : male with cfPWV ≥10 m/s, group3 : female with cfPWV <10 m/s, group4 : female with cfPWV ≥10 m/s). Body weight, height, waist circumference, blood pressure were measured and clinical biochemical tests were recorded. cfPWV was measured using a non-invasive automatic device (Complior Analysis, France). BFP were calculated by CUN-BAE equation. The level of cfPWV was significantly increased with the increasing trend of BFP in both males and females. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that SBP, DBP, HR, Hcy, BFP, FPG were independent associated with cfPWV in females and SBP, eGFR, FPG, BFP, DBP were independent associated with cfPWV in males. In the subgroups stratified by age, BFP was correlated with cfPWV only in females over 60 years old, but not in female those aged under 60 years old and males. In addition to the age and blood pressure, BFP was one of important predictor of arterial stiffening special in females aged over 60 years old.
