Vascular Δ-age is associated with cardiovascular events in humans (p = 0.017).
“chronological age significantly modified the relationship between ∆-age and the risk of cardiovascular events (p = 0.017)”

Vascular Δ-age raises the risk of cardiovascular events in humans (HR: 1.13, 95% CI: 1.07-1.21).
“∆-age was positively associated with the risk of cardiovascular events in middle-aged participants (HR: 1.13, 95% CI: 1.07-1.21; p < 0.001)”
Humansmedian 9.9-year follow-upn = 5,691

Carotid plaque

1 study

Vascular Δ-age is associated with carotid plaque in humans.
“Higher Δ-age was associated with increased mean and maximum CIMT and higher carotid plaque prevalence, independent of cfPWV.”
