Association of the Amount and Pattern of Physical Activity With Arterial Stiffness: The Maastricht Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
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
