What is known about this topic

  • Serum cholesterol is a risk factor for high blood pressure

  • However, serum LDL-cholesterol is not significantly associated with central measure of arterial stiffness i.e. cfPWV

What this study adds

  • Serum lipoprotein particle numbers but not serum cholesterol measures, are associated with measures of arterial stiffness

  • The association is statistically significant for baPWV and faPWV but not with cfPWV
