Abstract
Aim: Considering the importance of blood sugar factor in vascular health and function, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels and cardiovascular-ankle vascular index (CAVI), following glucose consumption and aerobic exercise activity. Also, anthropometric indices such as body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (PBF) are easily measurable and are consistently associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors.
Methods: This research was conducted as an intervention and trial on 42 inactive male subjects in the age group of 20 to 45 years from Shahrood city. After 12 hours of fasting, the amount of FBS of the subjects was measured. Then body composition and CAVI were measured in the basic state. In the following, the sports activity protocol consisting of 30 minutes of endurance activity with 65% of the maximum stored heart rate was performed on the treadmill; After 30 minutes of finishing the activity, 75 grams of glucose dissolved in 225 milliliters of water was consumed, followed by 60 minutes of inactive rest, and finally, arterial stiffness was measured again. Data analysis was done using simple linear regression method.
Results: The results showed that there is a significant relationship between CAVI changes and baseline levels of FBS (P=0.012) and PBF (P=0.001). However, this relationship between CAVI changes and BMI baseline levels was not significant (P>0.05).
Conclusion: In general, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the changes in CAVI index and the baseline levels of PBF and FBS, and these factors can be predictors in the response of arterial stiffness to physical activity and glucose consumption.
