Serum MMP‐3 and its association with central arterial stiffness among young adults is moderated by smoking and BMI
Abstract Central arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. It is characterized by a marked reduction in the elastin‐collagen ratio of the arterial wall extracellular matrix (ECM), and is largely the result of degradation of various ECM components. Matrix metalloprotei...
