Pressure-independent arterial stiffness index

1. Vigorous activity is associated with pressure-independent arterial stiffness index in humans (β ≈-0.12; p < .001).

   “In intensity-specific models, vigorous activity was consistently associated with lower ASI-PI (β ≈-0.12; p < .001)”

1. Physical activity is associated with pressure-independent arterial stiffness index in humans (β = -0.094, 95% CI -0.119 to -0.068; p < .001).

   “Each 1 SD higher total MET was associated with lower ASI-PI (β = -0.094, 95% CI -0.119 to -0.068; p < .001) but not ASI-PD.”
