Abstract
The objective is to find correlation of C-F PWV and CIMT with age & gender in the healthy population. Study comprised of 100 healthy subjects from society nearby Dr S. N. Medical College, Jodhpur. Both C-F PWV and CIMT increased with advancing age & both were found higher in males than females and was statistically significant. Increase in carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (C-F PWV) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) indicate the risk of atherosclerosis with increasing age and in male gender.
