20.500.12556/DKUM-66847 Increased augmentation index and central systolic arterial pressure are associated with lower school and motor performance in young adolescents Objective: In adults, improper arterial function has been linked to cognitive impairment. The pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (AIx) and other vascular parameters are useful indicators of arterial health. In our study, we monitored arterial properties, body constitution, school success, and motor skills in young adolescents. We hypothesize that reduced cognitive and motor abilities have a vascular origin in children. Methods: We analysed 81 healthy school children aged 11-16 years. Anthropometry central systolic arterial pressure, body mass index (BMI), standard deviation scores (SDS) BMI, general school performance grade, and eight motor tests were assessed. PWV, AIx, and central systolic arterial pressure (SBPao) were measured. Results: AIx and SBPao correlated negatively with school performance grades. Extremely high AIx, PWVand SBPao values were observed in 5% of children and these children had average to low school performance. PWV correlated significantly with weight, height, and waist and hip circumference. AIx, PWV, school success, and BMI correlated strongly with certain motor functions. Conclusions: Increased AIx and SBPao are associated with lower school and motor performance in children. PWV is influenced by the body's constitution. augmentation index pulse wave velocity school success motor functions young adolescents central systolic arterial pressure body mass index indeks povečanja hitrost pulznega vala uspeh v šoli motorične funkcije mladostniki centralni sistolični arterijski tlak indeks telesne mase true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2017-07-13 08:58:41 2017-07-13 08:59:29 2022-08-01 13:14:23 2019-07-11 16:00:42 2017 0 0 str. 1-9 2017 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0300-0605 616-053.2 28593625 512683576 10.1177/0300060516678717 0300-0605 URN:SI:UM:DK:5AJRZFOF Journal_of_International_Medical_Research_2017_Vogrin,_Slak_Rupnik,_Micetic-Turk_Increased_augmentation_index_and_central_systolic_arter.pdf Journal_of_International_Medical_Research_2017_Vogrin,_Slak_Rupnik,_Micetic-Turk_Increased_augmentation_index_and_central_systolic_arter.pdf 1 B92338FE83DCD8F0C7742EB26FCB9E27 96fac881193bc86e37dd16a944dfd378a68cec159e7c7aa36999b9dcfe777f84 6898bce9-7c0e-11eb-bb7a-00155d0001ca 20.500.12556/dkum/690c677b-5023-4cc7-becd-bdcb22c7cdc6 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=114128 http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0300060516678717 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=114127 Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
