Supports HVA for risk stratification in adults ≥50; leaves open whether interventions can sustain it or reduce events.
Does healthy vascular aging reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease events in community-dwelling adults aged ≥50 years?
Healthy vascular aging is achievable in Western populations and is associated with a 55% lower risk of cardiovascular events, though maintaining it beyond age 70 is rare.
