Subclinical Longitudinal Change in Ankle‐Brachial Index With Aging in a Community‐Dwelling Population Is Associated With Central Arterial Stiffening

Background Aging is associated with a modest decline in ankle‐brachial index (ABI); however, the underpinnings of this decline are not fully understood. The greater systolic ankle than brachial blood pressure, a normal ABI implies, is partially attributed to lower central than peripheral arterial st...
