Association of obesity with anatomical and physical indices related to the radial artery in Korean adults
Open accessAbstract
Obesity is a chronic disease risk factor. The objective of this study was to assess the association of obesity with anatomical and physical indices at the Cun, Guan, and Chi positions related to the radial artery. A total of 109 healthy subjects aged 30–50 years participated in this study. Binary logistic regression was performed to examine differences in physical and anatomical indices between normal and obese subject groups. The arterial diameter was associated with obesity at the Guan (adjusted p = 0.0441, adjusted OR = 1.65 [1.013–2.687]) and Chi positions (adjusted p = 0.0028, OR = 2.277 [1.327–3.908]) but not the Cun position. No association between the arterial blood flow velocity and obesity were observed at the three positions. The pulse depth index (PDI) was related to obesity at the Cun (adjusted p = 0.0038, OR = 2.119 [1.274–3.526]) and Guan positions (adjusted p = 0.0422, OR = 1.595 [1.017–2.503]). The high-frequency spectral energy proportion of the total pulse energy (HSEP) was significantly different only at the Chi position (adjusted p = 0.0418, OR = 0.571 [0.333–0.979]), and the spectral energy ratio (SER) was related to obesity only at the Guan position (adjusted p = 0.0468, OR = 1.76 [1.008–3.073]). Our study demonstrated that the arterial diameter, PDI, HSEP, and SER were associated with obesity at one or more positions. Our findings suggest that obesity may be considered in arterial pulse diagnosis and anatomical characteristics.

The radial artery has an inner diameter of 2.5 mm and a wall thickness of 0.2 mm.
“The radial artery has been reported to have 2.5 mm inner diameter and 0.2 wall thickness46–48.”

Increasing obesity is associated with changes in dermal water content, dermal blood content, dermal thickness, and increased radial artery depth.
“The significant changes to the skin which we have highlighted include changes to dermal water content66 and blood content content66 as well as dermal thickness and increased radial artery depth all with increasing levels of obesity47,48,58.”

The depth of the radial artery signal varies with obesity, from 2.5 mm for non-obese individuals at BMI of 25 to 3.5 mm for BMI of 45.
“The signal from the radial artery is discovered to vary in depth with different levels of obesity from 2.5 mm for non-obese individuals at BMI of 25 to 3.5 mm for BMI of 4547,48.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
