Cross-sectional and longitudinal assessment of arterial stiffening with age in European and Chinese populations

As arteries become stiffer with ageing, reflected waves move faster and augment late systolic pressure. Few studies have described the age-related changes in both peripheral and central systolic blood pressures in populations. We investigated the age dependency of peripheral (pSBP) and central (cSB...
