Are elevated serum carboxymethyl-lysine (advanced glycation end products) levels associated with increased aortic pulse wave velocity in relatively healthy community-dwelling adults?
Elevated advanced glycation end products are associated with increased arterial stiffness in healthy adults, suggesting a potential target for dietary intervention to lower cardiovascular risk.
Elevated AGEs are associated with increased arterial stiffness, a known predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, among relatively healthy community-dwelling adults. Interventions to lower levels of AGEs, such as altering the pattern of dietary intake, warrant examination as putative novel strategies to lower arterial stiffness in adults.
