Key result
Dietary nitrate reverses vascular dysfunction in older adults with moderately increased cardiovascular risk.
Why the study?
Aging deteriorates vascular integrity, marked by endothelial dysfunction and vascular stiffness which precede incident systolic cardiovascular issues.

Demonstrates improved vascular function in older adults with cardiovascular risk, suggesting dietary nitrate may benefit heart health.
To the Editor: The average human life span increases continuously and with it the percentage of sexagenarians and older people. Aging deteriorates vascular integrity, characterized by endothelial dysfunction and increasing vascular stiffness. The latter jointly precede and entail incident systolic
