Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between ePWV and T2DM risk, adjusting for multiple covariates, including age, sex, BMI, alcohol consumption, smoking status, and metabolic markers. Subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate the stability of the association across different groups. Additionally, ROC curve analysis was performed to assess the predictive power of ePWV in T2DM risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 110 participants developed T2DM during follow-up.

While AS has been linked to higher T2DM risk in older or obese individuals, this study uniquely focuses on non-obese young adults, a group not typically associated with high diabetes risk. By analyzing data from over 9,500 participants, the research found that even in individuals with a normal body mass index (BMI), higher ePWV is significantly associated with an increased risk of T2DM. This suggests that measuring ePWV could help detect early diabetes risk in people who may not exhibit traditional risk factors, such as high BMI. The findings highlight the importance of vascular health in prevention of diabetes and propose ePWV as a potential tool for early detection in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12902-025-01967-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,5]],"date-time":"2025-06-05T22:51:57Z","timestamp":1749163917000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Elevated estimated pulse wave velocity and the risk of type 2 diabetes in non-obese young adults: a longitudinal cohort study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Chunxia","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ri","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"1967_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"88","DOI":"10.1038\/nrendo.2017.151","volume":"14","author":"Y Zheng","year":"2018","unstructured":"Zheng Y, Ley SH, Hu FB.
