A research team led by Marzieh Araghi examine the association between arterial stiffness and cognitive decline over 7 years on 4,300 study participants. The team found that aortic stiffness is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline, and higher levels of arterial stiffness are associated with faster cognitive decline, suggesting that arterial stiffness severity can be used as an indicator to administer prompt treatments to prevent or delay the onset of cognitive decline or dementia.
