摘要
脉搏波速度（PWV）是动脉僵硬度的经典评价指标之一，PWV与性别关系的研究结果存在诸多争议。针对PWV性别差异产生的原因，重点综述了身高、年龄、性激素等因素对动脉结构和功能的作用；同时，就PWV测量的准确程度、分析方法、样本人群特征等方面对PWV性别差异研究结果的影响作了简要说明，客观指出了存在的争议。
Pulse wave velocity （PWV） is one of typical indicators to evaluate arterial stiffness. About the gender difference of pulse wave velocity, some controversies exist. In this paper, several factors affecting the differences such as height, aging, sex steroids, which affect the arterial structure and function and bring the gender difference, are reviewed relatively in detail. In addition, several aspects including measurement accuracy, analyzing method and the characteristics of sample population, which may induce the difference of PWV results, are also briefly reviewed. Meanwhile, some existing controversies are indicated objectively to further possible research interests in this field.
