Age-related cognitive impairment has been associated with arterial stiffening and decreased
cardiorespiratory fitness. The aims of this cross-sectional study were to compare cognitive …

Central artery aging, including elevated aortic stiffness, central blood pressure (BP), and
pulse pressure (PP), is a novel risk factor for the development of age‐associated cognitive …

Background. Stiffness of the central arteries in aging may contribute to cerebral
microvascular disease independent of hypertension and other vascular risk factors. Few …

Objective To examine potential sex differences in the relationship between arterial stiffness
and global cognitive function and executive functions. Methods Baseline data from 80 older …

Background To investigate physical fitness as a mediator of the relationship between arterial
stiffness and cognitive function in seniors. Methods This is a cross-sectional study …

Human aging is accompanied by both vascular and cognitive changes. Although arteries
throughout the body are known to become stiffer with age, this vessel hardening is believed …

It is well established that sex differences exist in the manifestation of vascular diseases.
Arterial stiffness (AS) has been associated with changes in cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) …

The mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment are incompletely understood but may
include arterial stiffness and microvascular dysfunction. In the population-based Maastricht …

Background: Midlife vascular disease risk is a strong risk factor for late-life dementia. Central
arterial stiffness, a hallmark of vascular aging, is associated with accelerated brain aging …

Cardiovascular disease in older people is often linked with cognitive impairment, particularly
in domains of executive function and processing speed. Our aims examined whether carotid …
