29 studies were included in narrative synthesis, of which 18 studies provided sufficient data for pooled analyses, totalling 15,573 participants. Studies were further included in pooled analyses where a standardised association statistic for continuous hPA and cfPWV was available. Studies were excluded if studying specific disease. Observational English-language studies assessing the relationship between cfPWV and hPA (measured via self-report or device-based measures) were considered for inclusion in a narrative synthesis. Searches were performed in MEDLINE Web of Science, SPORTDiscus and CINAHL databases published up to (PROSPERO, Registration No: CRD42017067159). The aim of this review was to understand the association between habitual physical activity (hPA) and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) in an ostensibly healthy adult population.
