Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Hypertension, a key contributor to mortality, is impacted by biological aging. We investigated the relationship between novel biological aging metrics - Phenotypic Age (PA) and Phenotypic Age Acceleration (PAA) - and mortality in individuals with hypertension, exploring the mediating effects of arterial stiffness (estimated Pulse Wave Velocity, ePWV), and Heart/Vascular Age (HVA). METHODS: Using data...
