Abstract

Vascular aging is a significant factor in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and serves as a predictor of all-cause mortality. Although disturbances in lipid metabolism are known risk factors, their links with standardized stages of vascular aging have not been thoroughly assessed in the Chinese population. This multicenter study analyzed the distribution of vascular aging stages in the China Standardized Vascular Aging Management Centers (VMCs). It investigated the relationships between lipid-adiposity-related indices and the progression of vascular aging.

Research summary

The paper investigates the associations between lipid and adiposity indices and the stages of vascular aging. This study is relevant as it explores factors that may contribute to the understanding of vascular aging, which is a key aspect of longevity and age-related diseases.
