40세 이하 여성의 연령 차이에 따른 동맥경직도 차이

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to observe whether there is a difference in arterial stiffness according to age difference. A total of 24 women under 40 years of age were selected for this study and consisted of high(mean age 18.7years) and low(mean age 35.8years) age groups. Measurement items were baPWV, ABI, and extremity blood pressure. As a result of the measurement the following results were obtained. The baPWV of the right upper arm and right ankle showed a higher trend in those in their high age groups than those in their low age groups but there was no significant difference. The baPWV of the left upper arm and left ankle also tended to be higher in those in their high age groups than in their low age groups but there was no significant difference. In the case of ABI, both the right and the left showed a higher trend in those in their high age groups than those in their low age groups, but there was no significant difference. In the left-right comparison of blood pressure by extremity the systolic blood pressure of the right arm was higher than that of the left arm and the systolic pressure of the left ankle was higher than that of the right ankle but there are no significant different. In the comparison according to upper extremity and lower extremities both systolic and diastolic blood pressures showed that the lower extremity systolic blood pressure was significantly higher than the upper extremity systolic blood pressure, But extremity blood pressure did not show any difference according to age difference indicating that there was no arterial stiffness difference between the high age groups and low age groups.
