Interarm systolic blood pressure difference ( IASBPD ) can predict cardiovascular disease. To investigate the relationship between and disease risk factors, a total of 1426 individuals were studied. Blood was assessed simultaneously expressed as absolute value (|R−L|). Cardiovascular factors compared high group ≥10 mm Hg) normal <10 Hg). An increased prevalence hypertension, body mass index , diastolic observed in P <.05), associated with enhanced mean values intima–media thickness maximum <.05). Brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity increased, while ankle‐brachial lower Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that Hg positively odds ratio, 1.077; =.002) ratio 1.032; <.001), negatively 0.038; <.001).
