Resumen:
Abstract: Background: The relationship between the increases in pulse pressure (PP) and arterialstiffness determined by aging or systemic hypertension has been widely reported. These findingsare supported by large-cohort analysis conducted in well-known populations, such as FraminghamStudy. However, there is evidence that an age-PP curvilinear relationship may exist in hypertensivesubjects. This study aimed to evaluate the age-related change in pulse pressure and arterial stiffness in a population-based study.Methods: Carotid femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (cfPWV) were obtained in 2075 subjects.Results: Age-related changes of PP showed a curvilinear relationship (R=0.39, p
