High atherosclerosis index is mainly considered to be caused by aging, or atherosclerosis. If the atherosclerosis index is high due to aging, you can temporarily observe it or further improve carotid ultrasound and electrocardiogram to see if there is myocardial ischemia or severe carotid artery stenosis, etc. Atherosclerosis due to atherosclerosis is also common in the elderly, but with poor lifestyles, some young people may also develop early atherosclerosis. Young people who develop high atherosclerosis index are caused by poor lifestyle habits, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, large fish and meat, overweight, etc. Long-term mental stress or poor rest, as well as lack of exercise can also lead to early atherosclerosis. And if atherosclerosis occurs in the elderly, it is important to further improve the previously mentioned tests to clarify the presence of severe atherosclerosis.
