 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 20 Healthy aging affect the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity of the main factors OF: Juan Wu Bing Zhou Hongyu Bai Kai Zhang Weiguang Han Lulu Chen Hong in the U.S. [Abstract] Objective To investigate the health of people brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV and ankle brachial index (ABI as an indicator reflecting the status of vascular function with aging in the law. Methods in Shenyang healthy population-based cross-sectional study, by sex groups for men and women, aged 10 years were divided into a group: 44 years and under, 45 to 54 years old, 55 to 64 years, 65 to 74 years over 75 years and 5 groups, a total of 400. serum lipids , blood glucose and other biochemical markers, carotid ultrasound carotid artery intima-media thickness, carotid artery blood flow parameters were measured, blood pressure, arteriosclerosis detector test limbs (including systolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, baPWV and ABI were measured. The results in each age group there were significant differences between the baPWV (P lt;0.05, baPWV faster with increasing age, 44 years age group and 45 to 54-year-old male age group baPWV values were significantly higher than women ( P lt;0.05; different sex ABI values between age groups were not significantly different. Correlation analysis showed that age and baPWV significantly correlated (r = 0.732, P lt;0.01, the baPWV and systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, diastolic blood pressure, neck artery intima-media thickness, carotid artery diameter, peak systolic velocity, end diastolic blood flow velocity in carotid artery are significantly correlated (r = 0.697,0.655,0.463,0.537,0.502, -0.277, -0.372, both P lt;0.01, baPWV and low-density lipoprotein, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, total triglyceride values were 0.176,0.163,0.125,0.099 r (all P lt;0.05). Conclusion age is the most healthy arterial stiffness major factor, baPWV increased with age to re
