Reductions in arterial stiffness with weight loss in overweight and obese young adults: potential mechanisms

OBJECTIVE: Arterial stiffness decreases with weight loss in overweight/obese young adults. We aimed to determine the mechanisms by which this occurs. METHODS: We evaluated carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in 344 young adults (23% male, BMI 25...
