Brief Summary:
Age is the primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and age-related vascular dysfunction is considered the key process linking the two.Middle age is a particularly vulnerable period when risk factors exceed diagnostic thresholds and clinical expression of CVD first becomes evident.Ultra-processed foods (UPF) comprise almost 60% of total energy in the standard American diet.The results of observational studies suggest that UPF consumption increases CVD risk, independent of overall diet quality (i.e.,…
