  Studies in a healthy and diabetic population have shown that there is a correlation between the disease and arterial stiffness, and consequently an increase in Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV). Little is known about risk factors of arterial stiffness particularly regarding the prediction of type 2 diabetes mellitus. We investigate predictors laboratory and clinical associated with arterial stiffness, validated by the increase in PWV. All patients of BioCor Cardiology Center, in the city of Maringa, Parana, Brazil, were subject to a cross-sectional study in the period from 2010 to 2016. A non-invasive oscillometric device, the Mobil®-o-graph, was used to measure the central pressure and pulse wave velocity. The analyses were conducted using Stata 9.0 (StataCorp, College Station, TX 77845 USA). This research was approved by the Local Ethics Committee (Permanent Ethics Committee .. View more»
