Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured by means of transcutaneous Doppler
techniques in the aorta, right arm, and right leg of 480 normal subjects of
both sexes in urban Beijing, China (age range 3 to 89 years, mean age 41
+/- 20.8 SD); supine blood pressure was recorded in the brachial artery of
each subject with standard sphygmomanometric procedures. Serum cholesterol
was determined in a subgroup of 79 subjects (age 17 to 85 years, mean 47
+/- 26 SD). PWV (y in cm/sec) was found to vary with age (x, years) at each
of the three locations according to the following regression equations:
aorta, y = 9.2x + 615, r = .673 (p less than .001); right arm, y = 4.8x +
998, r = .453 (p less than .001); right leg, y = 5.6x + 791, r = .630 (p
less than .001). Systolic, diastolic, mean, and pulse pressures were found
to increase with age. PWV also increased with mean supine blood pressure
but was not related to serum cholesterol (average 4.49 +/- 0.11 [SEM],
mmol/l). Compared with that of Western populations, serum cholesterol
tended to be lower at all age groups, systolic pressure higher at ages over
35 years, and PWV higher at all ages. Because change in PWV is directly
related to change in arterial compliance, these results indicate that aging
and not concomitant atherosclerosis (known to be rare in Asian populations)
is the dominant factor associated with reduced arterial compliance and
increased left ventricular load in these subjects.
