Figure 1. Age-associated changes in arterial function in humans.

Figure 1

A. Flow mediated induced dilation in the brachial artery of apparently healthy men. From Celermajer et al [15]. Age-associated increase in carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (B), an index of central arterial stiffness, and intimal medial thickness (C) in healthy men (red) and women (blue). Best-fitting age regression curves are shown for men (solid lines) and women (dashed lines). From Vaitkevicius PV et al [16] and Nagai Y et al [18].
