Abstract

Central arterial stiffening is associated with brain white matter (WM) damage and gray matter (GM) volume loss in older adults, but little is known about this association from an adult lifespan perspective.

Research summary

The paper investigates the association between central arterial stiffness and brain integrity across the adult lifespan, which is pertinent to understanding age-related changes in brain health. While it contributes to the knowledge of how vascular health impacts brain aging, the findings are more of a solid research nature rather than groundbreaking, thus limiting its overall impact on the field of longevity research.
