Key result
Ageing and hypertension interact to accelerate vascular remodelling, fibrosis, and arterial stiffness through common molecular mechanisms including oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory pathways.
Why the study?
Ageing is a major non-modifiable risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, with complex interactions between biological ageing and blood pressure elevation accelerating vascular remodelling and arterial stiffness.

Emphasizes vigilant BP control in aging populations; leaves open targeted interventions on shared oxidative and inflammatory pathways.
This review highlights the complex interplay between biological aging and hypertension in accelerating vascular remodeling and arterial stiffness.
Bestavashvili et al. (2020) conducted a review in Arterial hypertension. Ageing and hypertension was evaluated. Ageing and hypertension interact to accelerate vascular remodelling, fibrosis, and arterial stiffness through common molecular mechanisms including oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory pathways.
