ADIPOQ and arterial stiffness measurement: Our study also revealed that lower adiponectin levels, accompanied by traditional risk factors, such as lower GFR, elevated insulin and HOMA-IR values, higher CRP and TG and lower HDL-C levels, and increased BW, WC, BMI, SBP, DBP, pulse pressure, and bilateral baPWV values, demonstrated statistically significant differences between patients with hypertensive high arterial stiffness and those with low arterial stiffness.
