Abstract：Objective To analyze the risk factors related to anomaly of ankle-brachial pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in 3634 healthy controls. Methods The health controls (n=3634, male 2421, female 1213, aged from 35 to 85 and average age=51.9±10.1) were chosen from Mar. 2013 to Mar. 2014, and then divided, according to the values of baPWV, into baPWV<1400 cm/s group (n=2031) and baPWV>1400 cm/s group (n=1603). The indexes of baPWV, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), homocysteine (Hcy), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and urinary micro albuminuria (U-MA) were detected. Results Compared with baPWV<1400 cm/s group, BMI, BP, FPG, TG, TC, LDL-C, hs-CRP, Hcy, U-MA and Cys-C all increased in baPWV>1400 cm/s group (all P<0.05). The risk factors of baPWV anomaly were age (OR=5.161,95%CI:3.943~6.757), systolic BP (OR=3.592, 95%CI:2.538~5.084), diastolic BP (OR=3.413,95%CI:2.377~4.901), FPG (OR=1.681,95%CI:1.237~2.283), TG (OR=1.420,95%CI:1.075~1.875) and U-MA (OR=1.451,95%CI:1.032~2.040). Conclusion Age, BP, blood sugar, U-MA and TG are risk factors of baPWV anomaly.
