“…Using cfPWV in a multivariate model an inverse correlation with the BS (p = 0.023) was observed, but not for minutes sports per day (p = 0.554).ConclusionIn our large community-based cohort of adolescents, PA was associated with an increased cIMT but shows a trend towards lower aortic stiffness measured by cfPWV. We hypothesize that the association of PA with increased cIMT is not caused by early atherosclerotic vessel wall changes but is rather a physiologic adaptive process of the vessel wall. …”
