With the development of geriatric medicine, more and more reported research has found that as humans grow old, their blood vessels also age. Blood vessels are vital components of various organs. Vascular aging is an important physiological and pathological basis for the aging of organs and systems of the human body and is the common pathogenesis of various chronic diseases in the elderly. Early detection of vascular aging and the use of correct methods to delay and treat vascular aging are of great significance to prevent and control chronic diseases in the elderly and to deal with the increasingly serious problems of population aging. For this purpose, this consensus is formulated for use by geriatric doctors and related personnel.
随着老年医学的发展,越来越多的研究报道发现,随着人类年龄的增长,血管也会老化。血管是各个器官的重要组成部分。血管老化是人体器官和系统老化的重要生理和病理基础,是老年人各种慢性病的共同发病机制。早期发现血管老化并采用正确方法延缓和治疗血管老化,对于预防和控制老年人慢性病以及应对日益严峻的人口老龄化问题具有重要意义。为此,制定本共识供老年医学医生及相关人员使用。
