Background: Central hemodynamics and arterial stiffness evaluations are important for cardiovascular risk. The behavior of central blood pressure (CBP), and pulse wave velocity (PWV) during 24 hours is not well known. Objective: To investigate CBP and PWV in relation to brachial BP in 24 hours, awake and sleep periods in normotensive and untreated hypertensive individuals from 18 to 50 years old. Methods: A total of 104 subjects (60 females (57.7%) and 44 males (42.3%)), 48 (46.2%) individuals between 18 and 35 years old and 56 (53.8%) individuals between 36 and 50 years old were included.
