<p>Background:In Japan, district differences in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are well-known. This study examined district differences in Japan in measured values of arterial stiffness, an independent risk factor for CVD.</p><p>Methods and Results:Local residents participating in health checkups conducted in the Wakayama (n=461) and Nagano (n=186) prefectures in 2018 were recruited to the study. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was evaluated as an index of arterial stiffness. After multivariate adjustment, baPWV was significantly higher in the Wakayama than Nagano district in subjects aged ≥70 years (mean [±SE] 1,912±25 vs. 1,763±30 cm/s; P<0.01), but not in subjects aged <70 years. Multivariate linear regression analysis demonstrated that the Wakayama/Nagano district difference was significantly (P<0.01) associated with baPWV.</p><p>Conclusions:District differences were observed in the measured values of arterial stiffness in Wakayama and Nagano. The Wakayama and Nagano prefectures are representative areas with a relatively high and relatively low prevalence of CVD, respectively, in Japan. Therefore, based on the results of the present study, we propose to conduct a study to examine whether district differences in arterial stiffness underlie district differences in the prevalence of CVD.</p>
