Abstract
Background
Higher levels of pulse wave velocity (PWV) have been related with the presence of small vessel disease that could damage the brain, in which white matter hyperintensities (WMH) could be presented as consequence. This meta-analysis aims to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between PWV and the presence of WMH among older adults.
Methods
We searched PubMed, Scopus, and WOS until June 2024. Pooled Odds Ratio (p-OR) were estimated for the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between PWV and WMH. In addition, we explored whether this associations could be modified by type of PWV measurement and study and sample characteristics.
Results
The p-OR between PWV and WMH was 1.16 (95 % CI, 1.10–1.22) for the cross-sectional and 1.07 (95 %, 1.00–1.15) for the longitudinal association. Similar figures were found by type of PWV measurement and no one of the explored characteristics modified this associations.
Conclusions
This meta-analysis revealed that the presence in and the long-term development of WMHs among older adults are more likely among those with elevated PWV.
期刊介绍:
With the rise in average human life expectancy, the impact of ageing and age-related diseases on our society has become increasingly significant. Ageing research is now a focal point for numerous laboratories, encompassing leaders in genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and behavior. Ageing Research Reviews (ARR) serves as a cornerstone in this field, addressing emerging trends.
ARR aims to fill a substantial gap by providing critical reviews and viewpoints on evolving discoveries concerning the mechanisms of ageing and age-related diseases. The rapid progress in understanding the mechanisms controlling cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival is unveiling new insights into the regulation of ageing. From telomerase to stem cells, and from energy to oxyradical metabolism, we are witnessing an exciting era in the multidisciplinary field of ageing research.
The journal explores the cellular and molecular foundations of interventions that extend lifespan, such as caloric restriction. It identifies the underpinnings of manipulations that extend lifespan, shedding light on novel approaches for preventing age-related diseases. ARR publishes articles on focused topics selected from the expansive field of ageing research, with a particular emphasis on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the aging process. This includes age-related diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. The journal also covers applications of basic ageing research to lifespan extension and disease prevention, offering a comprehensive platform for advancing our understanding of this critical field.
