Introduction: Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Arterial stiffness (AS) is an independent cardiovascular risk factor. The objective of this study was to evaluate the SA in obese patients. Patients and methods: AS was measured in 212 participants divided into four groups: non-obese non-diabetic controls (n=114). non-diabetic subjects with obesity (n=37), obese and type 2 diabetic patients (n=34), non-obese type 2 diabetic subjects (n=27). AS was assessed by measuring the pulse wave velocity (PWV) using a new device: pOpmètre® (Axelife sas-France) at the right and the left side. Results: PWV values were increased in obese subjects compared to controls (obese and diabetic patients: 18.18±1.08, non-diabetic obese subjects: 11.32±1.04, non-obese diabetic patients: 15.58±1.21 and controls: 8.39±0.59 m/s, mean±SEM, p |
