Our aim was to investigate the effects of an intervention that comprised a brief counseling session on lifestyle habits together with the use of the EVIDENT (Lifestyles and arterial aging) application on the modification of markers that indicated different hemodynamic functions, such as arterial stiffness, blood pressure or wave reflections. The EVIDENT II study (Lifestyles and arterial aging) is a randomized clinical trial with two parallel groups. Each participant had an initial visit and two follow-up visits at 3 and 12 months where the peripheral augmentation index-PAIx75 was measured by tonometry, while an oscillometric method was used for the cardio-ankle vascular index-CAVI and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity-baPWV.
