2.6 PULSE WAVE VELOCITY AND GAIT PERFORMANCE IN OLDER SUBJECTS

Background: Arterial stiffening is an age-related change and is a well-known cardiovascular risk factor but its association with physical decline is rarely evaluated. The aim of this analysis was to assess the association of arterial stiffness as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) with gait...
