Article Abstract
The prevalence of centenarians, people who lived 100 years and longer, is steadily growing in the last decades. This exceptional longevity is based on multifaceted processes influenced by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as sex, (epi-)genetic factors, gut microbiota, cellular metabolism, exposure to oxidative stress, immune status, cardiovascular risk factors, environmental factors, and lifestyle behavior. Epidemiologically, the incidence rate of cardiovascular diseases is reduced in healthy centenarians along with late onset of age-related diseases compared with the general aged population. Understanding the mechanisms that affect vascular ageing in centenarians and the underlying factors could offer valuable insights for developing strategies to improve overall healthy life span in the elderly. This review discusses these key factors influencing vascular ageing and how their modulation could foster healthy longevity.

Systemic cardiovascular and carotid baroreflex support of arterial pressure during recovery from passive heat stress in young and older adults.
Physiol Rep

Department of Human Physiology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, USA.
We evaluated the systemic cardiovascular and carotid baroreflex support of arterial pressure during recovery from whole-body, passive heating in young and older adults. Supine mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output (Q; acetylene washin), systemic vascular conductance (SVC), heart rate (HR), and stroke volume (SV) were evaluated in 16 young (8F, 18-29 years) and nine older (6F, 61-73 years) adults at normothermic baseline and for 60-min passive heating and 120-min normothermic recovery. Externally applied neck pressure was used to evaluate HR, brachial vascular conductance, and MAP responses to carotid baroreceptor unloading.

Aging is the greatest risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and is characterized by inflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular senescence. Cellular senescence is a state of persistent cell cycle arrest triggered by stressors such as DNA damage and telomere attrition. Senescent endothelial cells (ECs) can impair vascular function and promote inflammation, thereby contributing to CVD progression.

Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Allergology and Clinical Immunology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Switzerland. Electronic address:
Background: Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) experience reduced physical capacity, which affects daily life functionality. Frailty signifies increased vulnerability due to diminished physiological reserves and is common in the elderly and those with chronic diseases, but has not been investigated in PH. This study aimed to create a frailty index for PH, to assess the prevalence of frailty, to determine frailty severity and progression over time and to establish a potential association between frailty and mortality in patients with PH.

Background: Immune dysregulation and metabolic disturbances contribute to cognitive decline in aging populations. The neutrophil-to-HDL cholesterol ratio (NHR), an emerging immunometabolic biomarker, reflects systemic inflammation and vascular dysfunction. However, its role in predicting cognitive impairment in older adults remains unclear.
