Research summary

Exceptional parental longevity modifies the associations of kidney function and kidney aging with cardiovascular disease in older adults. The study explores how exceptional longevity in parents may influence the relationship between kidney health and cardiovascular outcomes, which is pertinent to understanding factors that contribute to aging and longevity.
