Ambulatory arterial stiffness index is increased in obese children.

CONCLUSION: This study confirms that AASI is increased in obese children. AASI calculation is a useful, costeffective, and an easy method to evaluate arterial stiffness. Early detection of increased arterial stiffness can help clinicians come up with preventive measures in the management of patients. PMID: 32419418 [PubMed - in process]
