Introduction and aim. Arterial stiffness (AS) has been associated with reduced cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). The aim of this study was to verify if there is a relationship between augmentations index (AIx), as an index for AS assessment, and CRF in individuals with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Material and methods. Observational cross-sectional study including 32 individuals diagnosed with T2DM who performed two evaluations: 1. Arterial stiffness assessment using SphygmoCor and 2. CRF throughout a cardiopulmonary exercise test on a treadmill ergometer. Oxycon Mobile® device was used to obtain oxygen uptake consumption at peak (V˙O2peak); oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) determined by linear regression in reason of the logarithmic transformation of the ventilation and V˙O2 obtained every minute of exercise test. Statistical analysis comprised Pearson’s Correlation and linear regression analysis performed in SigmaPlot. Results. There was a significant correlation between AS and CRF: AIx and OUES; AIx@75 and; OUES. In linear regression, AIx was determinant for V˙O2peak and OUES – AIx and; AIx@75 and V˙O2peak. Conclusion. AS was associated with CRF in individuals with T2DM. These results contribute to the body of evidence linking arterial functional properties to CRF and suggests greater attention for this important index.
