- Brief Summary
To date, approximately 700 people have been measured. The analysis was conducted by dividing the subjects into two groups: a high-risk group with three or more risk factors for arteriosclerosis or a history of cardiovascular disease, and a low-risk group with fewer than three risk factors for arteriosclerosis. The slope of the relationship between actual age and vascular age was steeper in the high-risk arteriosclerosis group than in the low-risk group.
