We determined whether digital reactive hyperaemia correlated with risk factors for atherosclerosis in two groups of children at increased risk for endothelial dysfunction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951115000657_abs2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 15 obese children and 23 non-obese, dyslipidaemic children, 8\u201321 years of age, were enrolled, and their medical histories, anthropometric measurements, carotid wall thickness by means of ultrasonography, and fasting blood samples for cardiovascular risk factors were obtained. The standard endoPAT index of digital reactive hyperaemia was modified to reflect the true peak response or the integrated response of the entire post-occlusion period. In each group, age, sex, pubertal status, carotid wall thickness, and multiple cardiovascular risk factors were tested as predictors of endothelial dysfunction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951115000657_abs3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the non-obese, dyslipidaemic group, but not in the obese group, both indices strongly correlated with height (r=0.55, p=0.007, by peak response) followed by weight, waist circumference, and age. In both groups, neither index of reactive hyperaemia significantly correlated with any other cardiovascular risk factor.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951115000657_abs4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Contrary to the known age-related increase in atherosclerosis, digital reactive hyperaemia increased with age and its correlates in non-obese, dyslipidaemic children and was not related to other cardiovascular risk factors in either group. The reason for the lack of this relationship with age in obese children is unknown. The age-dependent physiology of digital microvascular reactivity and the endothelium-independent factors controlling the peak hyperaemic response need further study in children with a wide age range.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1047951115000657","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,10]],"date-time":"2015-07-10T11:03:08Z","timestamp":1436526188000},"page":"532-538","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Non-invasive
