Arterial stiffness is emerging as an important risk marker for poor brain aging and dementia
through its associations with cerebral small vessel disease, stroke, β-amyloid deposition …

Large artery stiffness is a frequent condition that arises with ageing, and is accelerated by
the presence of co‐morbidities like hypertension, obesity and diabetes. Although …

Cognitive decline and dementia are a major cause of disability and mortality among older
adults. Cross-sectional evidence from observational studies suggests that greater arterial …

There are no effective treatments available to halt or reverse the progression of age-related
cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. Thus, there is an urgent need to understand the …

Background Arterial stiffness is one of the earliest indicators of changes in vascular wall
structure and function and may be assessed using various indicators, such as pulse-wave …

Arterial stiffness constitutes a reduction in the ability of large arteries to readily accommodate
the increase in blood ejected from the heart during systole. Propagation of the pulse wave or …

Objectives: Hypertension is a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia. Arterial
stiffness could be involved in the mechanisms of vascular cognitive impairment and in …

Background Arterial stiffness is a known predictor of cardiovascular disease, and has also
been associated with markers of cerebral small vessel disease as well as poor cognitive …

Background: Cerebral small vessel diseases, including silent lacunar infarcts, white matter
hyperintensities, and microbleeds, pose a risk for cerebrovascular disease, cognitive …

Background Given the increasing incidence of vascular diseases and dementia, a better
understanding of the cerebrovascular changes induced by arterial stiffness is important for …
