| Abstract | Objective To evaluate the association between aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and all-cause mortality in a low to moderate risk population. Methods 1952 subjects (1319 men, 633 women), who benefited from a standard health check-up at the IPC center (Paris) in 1992/1993, had also an aortic PWV measurement. Mean follow-up was 13.4 ± 1.2 years, and 61 men (4.6%) and 18 women (2.8%) died. The population was divided in two groups of age (<60 and > = 60 years). Cox regression model, including age, gender, tobacco, cholesterol, heart rate, blood pressure, glycaemia, assessed the risk of all-cause mortality for an increase of 1 m/sec of PWV (Hazard Ratio (HR), 95% CI). Results Age was 45.0±9.3 years in young and 64.5±3.8 years in old subjects. In overall population, PWV was 9.6±2.2 m/sec, and increased with age: 9.2±2.0 m/sec in youngest and 11.0±2.2 m/sec in oldest. After adjustments, excepted on BP, HR for all-cause mortality risk associated with PWV was 1.12 (1.03-1.22), but after adjustment on all variables, relationship was no longer significant: HRZ1.08 (0.98-1.18). Before 60 years, after adjustments, PWV-related risk was 1.09 (0.95-1.24), (NS), but it reached 1.22 (1.08-1.38), p<0.02, in patients >60 years. Conclusion In a low to moderate risk population, aortic PWV was significantly and independently associated with all-cause mortality only among subjects after 60 years. In such population, the direct impact of BP on aortic stiffness overcomes the intrinsic stiffness alterations which are linked to all-cause mortality, at least in young, low risk, subjects. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
