  • There are several reasons why heart disease risk may increase with age, including arteriosclerosis, or a stiffening of blood vessels.

As we age, it is not uncommon to experience an increased risk for a variety of health conditions, including dementia, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, chronic respiratory diseases (COPD), and cardiovascular disease.

There are several reasons why heart disease risk may increase with age, including specific risk factors such as high blood pressure and smoking, reduced physical activity, changes in the valves and walls of the heart, and stiffening of blood vessels, medically known as arteriosclerosis.

Past studies show that making certain healthy lifestyle changes may help reduce a person’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease as they age, including maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, getting enough sleep, and eating a heart-healthy diet.

Now, a new clinical trial has found that a multi-ingredient longevity supplement made by the biotechnology company NOVOS may help improve markers of vascular aging, such as arterial flexibility and healthy blood pressure support, compared to a placebo.

The results have not yet been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, but the findings are available on the pre-print platform SSRN.
