This publication focuses on the feasibility of using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) in patients with cerebrovascular diseases. The authors consider the pathological conditions and risk factors of stroke associated with increased arterial stiffness, methods for its assessment, the advantages of using CAVI, the experience of using CAVI in patients with cardiovascular diseases, in particular, in neurological patients. The complexity of the application of CAVI in the Russian population, promising directions for determining the index in neurology as well as the importance of CAVI borderline indicators are shown. It is emphasized that stroke patients should be screened with a mandatory study of CAVI.

Introduction: Several anthropometric indices reflecting cardiometabolic risks have been developed, but the relationship of body composition with arterial stiffness remains unclear. We aimed to determine the interaction between age-related anthropometric changes and progression of arterial stiffness.
Methods: This research analyzed cross-sectional data (N=13,672) and 4-year longitudinal data (N=5,118) obtained from a healthy Japanese population without metabolic disorders.

Background: Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is significantly correlated with glycolipid metabolic disorders. Increased GDF15 levels are associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes as well as a poorer diabetes progression and prognosis. This is a prospective cohort study investigated the association between circulating GDF15 and diabetic peripheral artery disease.

Introduction And Objectives: To analyse the increase of arterial stiffness over a five-year period and its relationship with cardiovascular risk factors and sex-based differences in a Spanish population without cardiovascular disease.
Methods: Longitudinal study. Analysis of the increase in arterial stiffness measures evaluated with SphygmoCor and Vasera of 480 subjects followed for 5 years of the 501 subjects included in the baseline evaluation, selected through random sampling stratified by age and sex, mean age of 55.

Article Synopsis
- This systematic review investigates how body composition, particularly skeletal muscle mass, impacts vascular health measures like arterial stiffness and structure.
- Researchers conducted a thorough literature search and included 15 observational studies with over 21,000 participants, assessing various vascular health indices.
- The findings show that higher fat-free mass correlates positively with carotid artery thickness, while body fat percentage is linked to arterial stiffness, indicating a need for further research on specific body composition factors and their health implications.
Sex Differences in Gut Microbiota and Their Relation to Arterial Stiffness (MIVAS Study).

Research Network on Chronicity, Primary Care and Health Promotion (RICAPPS), 37005 Salamanca, Spain.
Background: Recent research highlights the potential role of sex-specific variations in cardiovascular disease. The gut microbiome has been shown to differ between the sexes in patients with cardiovascular risk factors.
Objectives: The main objective of this study is to analyze the differences between women and men in the relationship between gut microbiota and measures of arterial stiffness.
