COVID-19 Accelerates Vascular Aging in Women: A Global Study
Overview Groundbreaking international research led by Université Laval reveals that COVID-19 may cause arteries to age faster in women than in men. The study, involving about 2,100 participants across 18 countries, shows a clear link between SARS‑CoV‑2 infection and increased arterial stiffness in women, a key marker of cardiovascular aging. How the study was conducted…

COVID-19 May Accelerate Vascular Aging in Women: New Findings
COVID-19 may accelerate vascular aging in women: key findings A new international study published in the European Heart Journal reports that infection with SARS-CoV-2 could hasten the loss of elasticity in the walls of blood vessels among women. The increase in arterial stiffness after COVID-19 begins to resemble vascular aging that would typically take several…

COVID-19 May Accelerate Vascular Aging in Women, Study Finds
Overview A new international study published in the European Heart Journal reports that COVID-19 may accelerate vascular aging in women. The research suggests that the loss of elasticity in the body’s blood vessels that typically accompanies aging could be hastened after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Depending on the severity of the infection, this vascular stiffening could…

COVID-19 accelerates vascular aging in women: new international findings
Introduction A new international study led by researchers from Université Laval suggests that a COVID-19 infection may accelerate vascular aging in women, while men appear less affected. The research draws on data from about 2,100 participants across 18 countries and sheds light on sex-specific cardiovascular risks following SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study design Researchers assessed arterial…

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…
