The Relationship between Multiple Health Behaviours and Brachial Artery Reactivity

Background . The effects of smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle on endothelial function (EF) have only been examined separately. The relative contributions of these behaviours on EF have therefore not been compared. Purpose . To compare the relative associations between these four risk factors and brachial artery reactivity in the same sample. Methods . 328 patients referred for single-photon emission computed...
