Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS nEBR0xCA. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background. Increased arterial stiffness predicts future cardiovascular disease and in some cross-sectional studies it is related to worse lung function and obstructive pulmonary disease. We assessed the predictive value of lung function measured in mid-life as compared with later life on arterial stiffness in the Caerphilly Prospective Study (CaPS). Methods. Men aged 47-67 years had lung function measured between 1984 and 1988 and repeated between 2002 and 2004 (n=827) as well as having carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) measured. Results. Both forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) in mid-life and later life were inversely associated with PWV (P |
