Objective Pulse wave velocity (PWV) correlates well with arterial distensibility and stiffness and is a useful non-invasive index to assess arteriosclerosis. The present study was conducted to evaluate the validity of noninvasive brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) measurements in overweight young adults.Methods Three hundred and fifty-three students were voluntarily enrolled (mean age: 20 2, 93 women and 260 men). The subjects were divided into three groups: normal (18.5
