Abstract

Cardiovascular disease onset and mortality vary substantially among individuals of the same chronological age, reflecting differences in the pace of biological aging. This multi-stage study aimed to investigate the association between phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis.

Research summary

The paper investigates the association between phenotypic age acceleration and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis. This study is relevant as it explores biological aging markers and their relationship with cardiovascular health, contributing to understanding aging mechanisms.
