Key result
High cumulative child-to-adult blood pressure exposure is linked to accelerated midlife vascular aging.
Why the study?
Does high cumulative child-to-adult blood pressure exposure accelerate early vascular aging in midlife?
Cohort
Does high cumulative child-to-adult blood pressure exposure accelerate early vascular aging in midlife?
p-value: p=< .05
High cumulative blood pressure exposure from childhood to adulthood accelerates the vascular aging process, highlighting the importance of lifelong BP control.
Supports early BP monitoring from childhood; leaves open whether interventions slow vascular aging.
< .05 for all). All associations were independent of socio-demographics and cardiovascular risk factors. Excluding participants who were receiving anti-hypertensive, antidiabetic, or lipid-lowering treatments did not substantially change the above associations. This study, for the first time, reported that high cumulative child-to-adult BP exposure accelerated the vascular aging process. Stabilizing BP across life course could be beneficial to vascular health in the long run.

Yan et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Vascular aging. Cumulative child-to-adult blood pressure exposure was evaluated on Vascular aging process (p=< .05). High cumulative child-to-adult blood pressure exposure accelerated the vascular aging process in midlife (P < .05).
