Key result
Advancing age was associated with rising metabolic risk factors: SBP increased 1.7-11.6 mm Hg and FPG 0.8-20.4 mg/dL per 10 years (ages 30-64), and TC 0.2-22.4 mg/dL per 10 years (ages 30-54).

Global variations in age-metabolic risk associations suggest region-specific screening; leaves open optimal prevention strategies.
Cross-Sectional
Yes
The rise of major metabolic cardiovascular risk factors with age varies substantially across populations, with TC rising more steeply in high-income countries and FPG in Oceania, the Middle East, and the US.
Singh et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease metabolic risk factors. Age was evaluated on Age associations of systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and fasting plasma glucose. Advancing age was associated with rising metabolic risk factors: SBP increased 1.7-11.6 mm Hg and FPG 0.8-20.4 mg/dL per 10 years (ages 30-64), and TC 0.2-22.4 mg/dL per 10 years (ages 30-54).
