متن کاملAgeing and vascular ageing.
There is an age related decline in various physiological processes. Vascular ageing is associated with changes in the mechanical and the structural properties of the vascular wall, which leads to the loss of arterial elasticity and reduced arterial compliance. Arterial compliance can be measured by different parameters like pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, and systemic arterial complian...

متن کاملPathophysiology of Early Vascular Ageing-Opportunities for Treatment
The story of vascular ageing was first described in the seventeenth century when Thomas Sydenham wrote that ‘A man is as old as his arteries’. This aphorism was returned to publicity lately when Peter Nilsson reintroduced the concept of early vascular ageing. As vascular ageing is described a gradual process involving biochemical, enzymatic, and cellular changes of the vasculature and modificat...
متن کاملTotal plasma carotenoids and mortality in the elderly: results of the Epidemiology of Vascular Ageing (EVA) study.
Carotenoids are pigments found in fruits and vegetables. While high intakes of fruits and vegetables have been found to be associated with lower mortality, our objective is to investigate if total plasma carotenoids, via their antioxidant properties, are associated with mortality risk in a free-living elderly population. The 'Epidemiology of Vascular Ageing' (EVA) study (n 1389; 59-71 years) is...
