Abstract
Results: Mean systolic arterial blood pressure of the study population was 135.85±15.27 and diastolic was 84.17±9.58mmHg. The parameters as PWV, AIx, CAP measured for arterial stiffness had correlations between BMI and different anthropometric measurements. The statistically significant correlations was present between PWV and triceps skinfold thickness (TST) (r = 0.377, p < 0.001) and it was also seemed at regression analysis [PWV= 6.41 + (0.072×TST); R2 =0.142, F(1–98) = 16.23, p < 0.001]. Conclusions: Triceps skinfold thickness among this correlations may be used to estimate carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity which is an indicator of subclinical organ damage due to hypertension.
