Estimated pulse wave velocity as a forefront indicator of developing metabolic syndrome in Korean adults
Hyun-Jin Kim, Byung Sik Kim, Dong Wook Kim, Jeong-Hun Shin
Korean J Intern Med. 2024;39(4):612-624. Published online June 24, 2024
Background/Aims: The predictive value of the estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) for the development of metabolic syndrome has not yet been extensively explored. This study aimed to fill this gap by evaluating ePWV as a potential predictor of metabolic syndrome development in middle-aged Korean adu..
