Article Abstract
The concept of early vascular aging (EVA) was introduced to identify adults at risk of developing premature cardiovascular disease. EVA, or the dissociation between chronologic and biologic age of large arteries, is an evolving concept. In this review, we propose that EVA in youth characterizes the early life biological and environmental risk factors that precede overt EVA. During early infancy, childhood and/or adolescence, structural and/or functional characteristics of the macrovascular and/or microvascular system may deviate from that expected for the chronological age of the individual. Assessing vascular aging from a young age may help detect and prevent the early onset of cardiovascular disease. This consensus document from the Youth Vascular Consortium outlines the principles of EVA in youth (birth to 24 years), examines factors influencing vascular growth, and identifies current knowledge gaps. It also provides an expert consensus on defining EVA in youth. Supplementary Tables 1-3, http://links.lww.com/HJH/C733, http://links.lww.com/HJH/C734, http://links.lww.com/HJH/C735 supply key references for risk factors associated with EVA at different points in development; 1. Neonates to childhood; 2. Adolescence; 3. Young adults. Supplementary Table 4, http://links.lww.com/HJH/C736 displays reference ranges of EVA in adults.

Statins in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Mechanisms, Resistance, and Precision Strategies for Neurovascular and Cognitive Protection.

Global Health Neurology Lab, Sydney, NSW, 2150, Australia.
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

Purpose: To investigate the role of personal risk factors in the occurrence of the vascular, neurological and fibroproliferative disorders of the hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) in workers groups exposed to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV).
Methods: HAVS prevalence and incidence data were pooled across a series of cross-sectional studies (total sample: 1272 HTV workers, 579 controls) and prospective cohort studies (total sample: 377 HTV workers, 138 controls) conducted in Central and North-Eastern Italy. The pooled studies included detailed individual-level information about HTV exposure, personal risk factors, medical comorbidities and HAVS disorders.
Burn Injury Triggers Distinct Transcriptomic Profiles in Adipose Tissue of Adult and Aged Mice.

Severe burns are a major global health concern, and are associated with long-term physical and psychological impairments, multi-organ dysfunction, and substantial morbidity and mortality. While burn injuries in adults trigger systemic immuno-metabolic alterations-characterized by white adipose tissue browning, elevated resting energy expenditure, widespread catabolism, and inflammation-these adaptive responses are considerably impaired in older adults, with molecular mechanisms behind these differences remaining largely unclear. As a key regulator of systemic metabolism, investigating the pathological role of adipose tissue (AT) postburn may reveal novel targets that could potentially improve patient outcomes.

Cerebral small-vessel disease (CSVD) is an important risk factor for cognitive impairment, which is a pressing health issue for the aging population worldwide. The complex relationship between vascular factors, such as blood pressure variability (BPV) and arteriosclerosis index (AI), and cognitive dysfunction in patients with CSVD is a hot research topic, and research in this area will help prevent and treat cognitive dysfunction in CSVD. This study aims to investigate the effects of diastolic BPV (DBPV) and AI on cognitive function in patients with CSVD.
