Poster Print Size: This poster template is 24” high by 36” wide. It can be used to print any poster with a 2:3 aspect raAo including 36x54 and 48x72.
Placeholders: The various elements included in this poster are ones we oGen see in medical, research, and scienAfic posters. Feel free to edit, move, add, and delete items, or change the layout to suit your needs. Always check with your conference organizer for specific requirements.
Image Quality: You can place digital photos or logo art in your poster file by selecAng the Insert, Picture command, or by using standard copy & paste. For best results, all graphic elements should be at least 150-‐200 pixels per inch in their final printed size. For instance, a 1600 x 1200 pixel photo will usually look fine up to 8“-‐10” wide on your printed poster. To preview the print quality of images, select a magnificaAon of 100% when previewing your poster. This will give you a good idea of what it will look like in print. If you are laying out a large poster and using half-‐scale dimensions, be sure to preview your graphics at 200% to see them at their final printed size.
Please note that graphics from websites (such as the logo on your hospital's or university's home page) will only be 72dpi and not suitable for prinAng.

In total, 777 men and 530 women participated in this study. The mean age of total participants was 44.9 years (SD = 5.9), and the percentage of current smokers was 32.0 % (418 out of 1,307). The mean AVI was 15.6 (SD = 4.9), and the mean FEV1 was 3.13 L (SD = 0.65). AVI was negatively correlated with FEV1 (r = −0.21, p < 0.001). In fully-adjusted models, AVI was independently associated with FEV1 (β = −0.03, p = 0.017, 95 % CI = −0.06 to −0.01).
IntroducCon
We conducted a cross-sectional survey of healthy adults aged 20 years or older at a single large medical center in Hachinohe, Japan between April 2014 and March 2015. We measured AVI using cuff oscillometry. AVI means the characteristics of pulse waves at higher cuff pressure than systolic BP. The outcome measure was forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), which was measured with spirometry. We used log-transformed values of AVI and FEV1, as the distributions of these values were skewed. We calculated a correlation coefficient between AVI and FEV1, and performed multiple linear regression analyses to adjust for effects of age, sex, height, and smoking status.
Methods
Our study showed that an increase of arterial stiffness as assessed via AVI was independently associated with a decrease in FEV1 in the healthy Japanese population. Further study is warranted to confirm these findings in cohort studies.
Conclusions
Recent studies have shown that the results of vascular function tests, such as pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, or cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), were associated with pulmonary function in children or hypertensive patients, and increased CAVI might be correlated with progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 1.2.
However, the association between vascular function and pulmonary function remains unclear, especially in healthy adult people. Arterial velocity pulse index (AVI) is a novel arterial stiffness index that can be measured more easily than previous methods. 3.
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between AVI and pulmonary function test results in the healthy adult population.
