Long-term exposure to air pollution significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, association and underlying mechanisms in individuals with diabetes remain unconfirmed. We used data from China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) follow 5,430 adults over a four-year period. Baseline CVD status were determined, high-resolution assess PM1, PM2.5, PM10, O3. The inflammatory lipid ratio (ILR) was calculated reflect metabolic states.

Abstract Background Vasculopathy is the most common complication of diabetes. Endothelial cells located in innermost layer blood vessels are constantly affected by flow or vascular components; thus, their mechanosensitivity plays an important role mediating regulation. damage, one main causes hyperglycemic complications, has been extensively studied.

Oxidative balance score (OBS) is a composite measures that assess the between pro-oxidant and antioxidant factors in an individual's diet lifestyle, with higher scores indicating greater exposure. Despite its potential significance, there limited body of research exploring relationship OBS all-cause cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality specifically younger patients diabetes. We aimed to investigate possible CVD Data for this study were obtained from 2003–2018 NHANES. This enrolled 3501 participants. The endpoints mortality, determined by National Death Index (NDI). OBS, which consists 16 dietary 4 lifestyle factors, categorized into pro-oxidants antioxidants. was four quartiles (Q1-Q4). used multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models examine association continuous quartile (lifestyle antioxidants such as physical activity, etc., alcohol, smoking, etc.), (dietary fiber, β-carotene, riboflavin, pro-oxidants, total fat, etc.) mortality. Additionally, we explored restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis also performed subgroup analyses interaction tests. occurrence 409 deaths (11.7%) 108 CVD-related (3.1%) recorded during follow-up period.

Abstract Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is a leading cause of age-related decline, driven by cerebrovascular dysfunction and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Emerging evidence suggests that cerebromicrovascular endothelial senescence plays an important role in the pathogenesis VCI promoting blood flow dysregulation, neurovascular uncoupling, blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption, development microhemorrhages (CMHs). This review explores concept as continuum vascular aging, linking macrovascular atherosclerosis with microvascular dysfunction. It examines mechanisms which drives pathology highlights impact cardiovascular risk factors accelerating these processes. We examine preclinical clinical studies provide compelling atherosclerosis-induced exacerbates impairment. In particular, findings suggest targeting senescent cells through senolytic therapy can restore function improve outcomes experimental models atherosclerosis. Given growing recognition therapeutic target, further research warranted to explore novel interventions such senolytics, anti-inflammatory agents, metabolic modulators. The circulating biomarkers (e.g., senescence-associated secretory phenotype [SASP] components endothelial-derived extracellular vesicles) could enable early detection stratification individuals at high for VCI. Additionally, lifestyle modifications, including Mediterranean diet, hold promise delaying mitigating decline. conclusion, key mechanistic link between Addressing aging modifiable factor targeted offers promising strategy reducing burden preserving populations.
