The association between estimated pulse wave velocity and cardio-cerebrovascular disease risk: a cohort study.

Background: Various measures of arterial stiffness have been linked to the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between the estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV), a novel indicator of arterial stiffness, and cardio-cerebrovascular disease risk remains unclear. This study investigated the relationship between the ePWV and the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.

Weight-adjusted waist index and disability: a cohort study from CHARLS.

Background: The association between weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and disability is unclear. This study aimed to assess the relationship between WWI and disability in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals and provide more predictive indicators for disability prevention.

Methods: In this study, 13,015 middle-aged and older adults aged 45 years and above who were surveyed in 2011 by the China Health and Aging Tracking Survey (CHARLS) database were selected, and 8344 respondents with complete data were included for cohort analysis after seven years of follow-up.

Correlation between the triglyceride-glucose index and arterial stiffness in Japanese individuals with normoglycaemia: a cross-sectional study.

Background: The association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and arterial stiffness in individuals with normoglycaemia remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between the TyG index and arterial stiffness in Japanese individuals with normoglycaemia, providing additional evidence for predicting early arterial stiffness.

Methods: This study included 15,453 adults who participated in the NAGALA Physical Examination Project of the Murakami Memorial Hospital in Gifu, Japan, from 2004 to 2015.
