What is vascular Age?

Vascular age refers to the age of the muscles in the blood vessels. The age of the blood vessels should match the age of the person but some factors can make the blood vessels age faster.

There are a few methods to find your vascular age. First is the medical history – age, gender, blood pressure levels, blood sugar levels, HDL and LDL levels, whether you smoke or not, and more. If you Google for vascular age calculator and enter with these details then you can find your vascular age.

If you want a more objective way then consult with your cardiology doctor and check the thickness of the blood vessel that goes to the brain through the neck using ultrasound. Depending on the thickness of the blood vessel the vascular age is calculated.

The third way is to check the elasticity and flexibility of the blood vessels. If the elasticity reduces, the arteries become stiff. People with high cholesterol, and high blood pressure and people who smoke usually have stiff arteries. This can be calculated using the pulse wave velocity test and depending on the result, the vascular age can be calculated.

If your vascular age is higher than your real age then you should shift to a healthy lifestyle.
