Vascular age older than the actual age means that the aging of blood vessels is serious and may be related to factors such as smoking and high blood lipids.
Vascular aging refers to the phenomenon that as the human body ages, blood vessels gradually lose their original functions such as elasticity, resulting in hardening of the blood vessels. Certain factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, high blood lipids may damage the endothelium of the blood vessels, aggravating the degree of vascular aging, exceeding the degree of vascular aging of people of the same physiological age group, and in severe cases, may cause atherosclerosis.
At this time, we can adjust the lifestyle, moderate exercise and other ways to slow down the degree of vascular aging, if it is caused by high blood pressure, high blood fat, can be under the guidance of a professional doctor, through the drugs to control blood pressure and blood fat levels, to reduce the factors of vascular damage.
In general, vascular aging is a gradual physiological process with age, but smoking, high blood lipids, hypertension, diabetes and other factors may promote this process, so that the degree of vascular aging aggravated, the age of the blood vessels at this time is greater than the actual age of the prone to atherosclerosis and other diseases.
