Article Abstract
Epidemiological evidence suggests the presence of common risk factors for the development and prognosis of both cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases, including stroke, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, heart, and peripheral vascular diseases. Accumulation of harmful blood signals may induce organotypic endothelial dysfunction affecting blood-brain barrier function and vascular health in age-related diseases. Genetic-, age-, lifestyle- or cardiovascular therapy-associated imbalance of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide metabolism in the brain and periphery may be the missing link between age-related neurocardiovascular diseases. Genetic polymorphisms of genes related to Aβ metabolism, lifestyle modifications, drugs used in clinical practice, and Aβ-specific treatments may modulate Aβ levels, affecting brain, vascular, and cardiac diseases. This narrative review elaborates on the effects of interventions on Aβ metabolism in the brain, cerebrospinal fluid, blood, and peripheral heart or vascular tissues. Implications for clinical applicability, gaps in knowledge, and future perspectives of Aβ as the link among age-related neurocardiovascular diseases are also discussed.

Background: The prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is rising rapidly due to population ageing, with significant consequences for morbidity and mortality. The use of effective, predictive biomarkers would enable early introduction of targeted, proactive management of kidney disease.
Aim: The aim of this review is to summarise all available studies investigating the association of neurocardiovascular, inflammatory and epigenetic biomarkers with kidney function and their ability to predict CKD incidence or progression.

The impact of age on exercise pressor responses is equivocal, likely because of sex-specific neuro-cardiovascular changes with age. However, assessments of the interactive effects of age and sex on muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) responses to exercise are lacking. We tested the hypothesis that older females would exhibit exaggerated increases in blood pressure (BP) and MSNA discharge patterns during handgrip exercise compared with similarly aged males and young adults.

The vagus nerve is the longest nerve in the human body, providing afferent information about visceral sensation, integrity and somatic sensations to the CNS brainstem nuclei to subcortical and cortical structures. Its efferent arm influences GI motility and secretion, cardiac ionotropy, chonotropy and heart rate variability, blood pressure responses, bronchoconstriction and modulates gag and cough responses palatine and pharyngeal innervation. Vagus nerve stimulation has been utilized as a successful treatment for intractable epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression, and new non-invasive transcutaneous (t-VNS) devices offer equivalent therapeutic potential as invasive devices without the surgical risks.

Biologic aging results in a chronic inflammatory condition, termed inflammaging, which establishes a risk for such age-related diseases as neurocardiovascular diseases; therefore, it is of great importance to develop rejuvenation strategies that are able to attenuate inflammaging as a means of intervention for age-related diseases. A promising rejuvenation factor that is present in young blood has been found that can make aged neurons younger; however, the component in the young blood and its mechanism of action are poorly elucidated. We assessed rejuvenation in naturally aged mice with extracellular vesicles (EVs) or exosomes extracted from young murine serum on the basis of different spectrums of microRNAs in these vesicles from young and old sera.
