EVA affects ~20% without CVD and links to modifiable risks; hypothesis-generating for prospective confirmation before clinical targeting.
In a Spanish population without cardiovascular disease, early vascular aging is prevalent (approximately 20%) and strongly associated with modifiable risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle, abdominal obesity, and insulin resistance.
Gómez‐Sánchez et al. (2020) studied this question.
