PROBLEM: Question: Is large artery stiffness related to plasma cholesterol in older subjects with hypertension?
Answer: In the largest cohort of elderly hypertensive subjects studied to date, plasma cholesterol per se was not associated with large artery stiffness. Such independence from cholesterol increases the potential for artery stiffness measurements to additionally contribute to cardiovascular risk assessment in this population.

SOLUTION:
no
