| 摘 要： | BACKGROUND Older men are more vulnerable to fatal falls than women, and gait disturbances contribute to the risk of falls.Studies have assessed the association between arterial stiffness and gait dysfunction, but the results have been inconclusive. This study aimed to conduct a cross-sectional analysis to evaluate the association between brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity(ba PWV)and gait assessment in older men.METHODS Data from the 2014–2015 Korea Institute of Sport Science Fitness Standards pr...
