Abstract—We tested the hypothesis that weight loss via a hypocaloric diet would reduce arterial stiffness in overweight and obese middle-aged and older adults. Thirty-six individuals were randomly assigned to a weight loss (n25; age: 61.20.8 years; body mass index: 30.00.6 kg/m2) or a control (n11; age: 66.11.9 years; body mass index: 31.81.4 kg/m2) group. Arterial stiffness was measured via carotid artery ultrasonography combined with applanation tonometry and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity via applanation tonometry at baseline and after the 12-week intervention. Body weight, body fat, abdominal adiposity, blood pressure, -stiffness index, and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity were similar in the 2 groups at baseline (all P0.05). Bo...
