Cardiorespiratory fitness and age ‐related arterial stiffness in lupus

ConclusionsThe results of the present study suggest that cardiorespiratory fitness attenuates the age‐related arterial stiffening in women with systemic lupus erythematosus and might thus contribute to the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in this population. Since the cross‐sectional design precludes establishing causal relationships, future clinical trials should confirm or contrast these findings.This article is protected by copyright.
