1.3 PREDICTION OF CARDIOVASCULAR MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY IN THE MALMö DIET-CANCER COHORT FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF HEALTHY VASCULAR AGEING, USING MARKERS OF VASCULAR STATUS

1.3 PREDICTION OF CARDIOVASCULAR MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY IN THE MALMö DIET-CANCER COHORT FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF HEALTHY VASCULAR AGEING, USING MARKERS OF VASCULAR STATUS

Background: This study aims to translate two arterial measurements, aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (aPWV) and carotid Intima-Media Thickness (cIMT), into a combined Vascular Ageing Index (VAI), to evaluate the predictive power of VAI and utilize it to identify a sub-group with Healthy Vascular Ageing (H...
