Adherence
Lifestyle interventions, specifically physical activity and healthy dietary patterns (Mediterranean/DASH), decelerate biological vascular aging and improve vascular health measures.
Prioritize regular physical activity and adopt a plant-based, Mediterranean-style diet. These are the most effective, evidence-based ways to slow down biological vascular aging and reduce cardiovascular risk.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Physical activity... is linked to a reduced incidence of age-related diseases, decreased vascular and molecular measures of biological age and CVD risk factors, and an extended life span in humans.
Why this rating
Supported by multiple references to studies showing reduced CVD risk and improved vascular markers.
