Age-Related Arterial Stiffening Is Associated with a Body Shape Index and Lean Body Mass Index: A Retrospective Cohort Study in Healthy Japanese Population

Since arterial stiffening may cause skeletal muscle loss, potentially creating a vicious cycle, prioritizing CAVI and anthropometric indices in clinical practice may be a useful strategy.
