## Introduction Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an important oxidoreductase in the anaerobic metabolic pathway. The role of LDH in arterial stiffness (AS) and 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD10) risk has not been established. ## Methods This retrospective, cross-sectional, and observational study evaluated the relationships between the LDH level and AS and CVD10 risk in 12,597 health-examined people (6988 men and 5609 women; mean age, 49.49 years) in China. Brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was used to estimate AS. The Framingham CVD 10-year risk prediction model was used to calculate the CVD10 risk score. ## Results In both sexes, an increased LDH level was associated with increased AS and CVD10 (men: β = 0.032, P < 0.001; women: β = 0.025, P < 0.001). Half of the population with a high LDH level (**__≥__**172 U/L) showed significantly increased AS and CVD10 risk score. Men and women with baPWV ≥1400 cm/s had a higher LDH level, and the latter was significantly different from that of the group with baPWV <1400 cm/s (men: 176.93±30.99 vs 173.00±33.36, P < 0.001; women: 189.10±34.20 vs 171.39±31.08, P < 0.001). In both sexes, a higher level of LDH was noted in groups with
