COVID-19 Accelerates Vascular Aging in Women, Laval Study Finds
New evidence from Laval and international partners A large international study led by researchers at Université Laval has found that a COVID-19 infection appears to accelerate vascular aging in women, while men do not show the same effect. The work examined how the disease affects arterial stiffness in about 2,100 people across 18 countries, including…

COVID-19 May Accelerate Vascular Aging in Women After Infection
New evidence links COVID-19 to faster vascular aging in women A large international study published in the European Heart Journal reports that the loss of elasticity in blood vessels accompanying normal aging may be accelerated in women after a COVID-19 infection. The researchers found that arterial stiffness—measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV) in the aorta—appears…
