The Impact of Diet on Vascular Function and Vascular Aging: Multivariate Approach

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you of this Special Issue on the theme of “The Impact of Diet on Vascular Function and Vascular Aging: Multivariate Approach”.

Vascular aging is an important process determining the health status of the aged population. Maintaining a normal vascular aging process is essential for preserving vascular health and delaying the onset of cardiovascular disorders. The benefits of the diet heart-healthy in primary prevention, reducing mortality from ischemic heart disease, improving lipid profile, blood pressure, blood glucose, and adiposity are known; however, the relationship of these factors with vascular function and with vascular aging have not been studied much.

Applications of multivariate techniques, including in nutrition, may take the form of multivariate cluster analysis, PCA, prediction models, etc.

The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of adherence to the Mediterranean diet and its components on early vascular aging.
