Introduction
The Withings Heart Health & Body Composition Wi-Fi Smart Scale is a connected device that measures pulse-wave velocity (PWV), a reliable index of vascular age and overall cardiovascular health.
Study Objective
The main objective of this study was to investigate PWV trajectories during the lockdown period among Withings Heart Health & Body Composition Wi-Fi Smart Scale users in two representative countries (France and Germany), in which different social-distancing rules were applied.
Methods
Data from Withings Body Cardio scales users between January 2020 and 30 April 2020 were analyzed, including PWV recordings, weight, blood pressure, and physical activity.
Results
The study found a significant reduction in vascular stiffness, weight, blood pressure, and physical activity during the lockdown period, with a greater improvement in France compared to Germany.
