IntroductionBrachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV), as a simple and easily measured marker of arterial stiffness, has not been prospectively explored for its role in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk among the general population. This study aimed to explore the association between baseline ba-PWV value and new-onset T2DM among Chinese adults.Research design and methodsUsing data from Xiaotangshan Hospital, we conducted a prospective cohort study among those who underwent annual or biennial health check-up examinations and who had their ba-PWV measured from 2009 to 2016. We explored the risk of new-onset T2DM across ba-PWV tertiles using Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis.ResultsOf 6122 adults (68.9% male; mean age: 51.0 (SD 13.0) years) without T2DM and with ba-PWV measured at baseline, 599 participants developed T2DM during an average of 3.8 (SD 2.3) years of follow-up. After multivariable adjustment, ba-PWV was positively related to T2DM risk (p for trend=0.008). Compared with the lowest ba-PWV tertile, the HRs and their 95% CIs were 1.57 (1.18 to 2.10) for the second and 1.66 (1.24 to 2.22) for the third tertile. The risk across ba-PWV tertiles increased steadily from 1000 cm/s to 1400 cm/s and then reached a plateau. Subgroup analyses indicated a significantly higher risk among those aged <65 years and current smokers (p for interactions: <0.001 and 0.006).ConclusionsOur findings suggest that ba-PWV might be a useful and independent predictor of new-onset T2DM with ba-PWV ranging between 1000 cm/s and 1400 cm/s, especially among younger individuals and current smokers.

Background: Sclerostin and Dickkopf-1 are extracellular inhibitors of the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway, which is implicated in the development of arterial stiffness. However, the correlation between aortic stiffness and sclerostin or Dickkopf-1 levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is unknown. Methods: Fasting blood samples were collected from 125 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Aortic stiffness was measured by carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity, and high aortic stiffness was defined by a carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity of >10 m/s. The serum sclerostin and Dickkopf-1 concentrations were determined using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Results: In total, 46 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (36.8%) had high levels of aortic stiffness. Compared to the control group without aortic stiffness, this group was significantly older, had higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures, had higher blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio and serum sclerostin levels, and had significantly lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and estimated glomerular filtration rates. After adjusting for confounders, serum sclerostin [odds ratio = 1.005 (1.002–1.007), p = 0.002] levels remained an independent predictor of aortic stiffness. Multivariate analysis showed that the serum sclerostin level ( β = 0.374, adjusted R2 change = 0.221, p < 0.001) was positively associated with carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity. Conclusion: Serum levels of sclerostin, but not Dickkopf-1, are positively correlated with carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity and independently predict aortic stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and can be beneficially influenced by physical activity. However, it is not clear how an individual’s physical activity pattern over a week is associated with arterial stiffness. Therefore, we examined the associations of the amount and pattern of higher intensity physical activity with arterial stiffness. Methods and Results Data from the Maastricht Study (n=1699; mean age: 60±8 years, 49.4% women, 26.9% type 2 diabetes mellitus) were used. Arterial stiffness was assessed by carotid‐to‐femoral pulse wave velocity and carotid distensibility. The amount (continuous variable as h/wk) and pattern (categorical variable) of higher intensity physical activity were assessed with the activPAL3. Activity groups were: inactive (<75 min/wk), insufficiently active (75–150 min/wk), weekend warrior (>150 min/wk in ≤2 sessions), and regularly active (>150 min/wk in ≥3 sessions). In the fully adjusted model (adjusted for demographic, lifestyle, and cardiovascular risk factors), higher intensity physical activity was associated with lower carotid‐to‐femoral pulse wave velocity (amount: β = −0.05, 95% CI, −0.09 to −0.01; insufficiently active: β = −0.33, 95% CI, −0.55 to −0.11; weekend warrior: β = −0.38, 95% CI, −0.64 to −0.12; and regularly active: β = −0.46, 95% CI, −0.71 to −0.21 [reference: inactive]). These associations were stronger in those with type 2 diabetes mellitus. There was no statistically significant association between higher intensity physical activity with carotid distensibility. Conclusions Participating in higher intensity physical activity was associated with lower carotid‐to‐femoral pulse wave velocity, but there was no difference between the regularly actives and the weekend warriors. From the perspective of arterial stiffness, engaging higher intensity physical activity, regardless of the weekly pattern, may be an important strategy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
