HOW OLD ARE YOUR VEINS?
”One of the most important indicators of our health is our vascular age,” said, listing 3 ways to calculate this and what needs to be done against rapid vascular aging…
The rate of vascular aging varies depending on the person’s risk burden, which means that the greater the risk factor, the faster they age. For example, a 40-year-old person’s vascular age may be 70 or even 80. That means his health is under threat. Here are questions about Insidious vascular aging and a specialist in Cardiovascular
Turkey Medicals member and Turkish Surgeon Professor Doctor in Antalya Turkey. HY’s responses…

1. WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS THAT DISRUPT VASCULAR HEALTH?
Human age (calendar age, biological age) can be evaluated by taking into account many factors, and our vascular age may also be different from our calendar age. The most important result of vascular aging, which we define as cardiovascular diseases, is responsible for one out of every 3 deaths in developed countries. Rapid vascular aging and vascular diseases and risk factors health boosts that starts are as follows: in the family, cardiovascular disease, advanced age, male gender, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, high cholesterol, high LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good) cholesterol, high triglyceride levels, high CRP (signs of inflammation), stress, and inactivity.
Although there are factors that cannot be changed, such as genetics and gender, to delay vascular aging and prevent their disease, we can eliminate or reduce modifiable risk factors such as lifestyle and habits. We should regulate factors that we can control, such as smoking, inactivity, eating, quit smoking, eat Mediterranean-style, stay away from foods containing salt and sugar and additives, keep our blood sugar, blood pressure under control and pay attention to our mental health.

2. HOW IS VASCULAR AGE CALCULATED?
Framingham scoring: vascular age, total cholesterol, HDL, high blood pressure, age, smoking, diabetes, such as the answers to questions about risk factors can be calculated by the score created by.
Pulse Wave Velocity: by calculating the increase in vascular blood flow rate with Doppler ultrasound, vascular stenosis and vascular age can be measured.
CIMT (Carotid Intima-Media Thickness): vascular age can be calculated by measuring the thickness of the muscle that forms the inner layer and middle layer of the carotid novelization.
How do we protect our veins from Covid-19?

3. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE DISEASE ITSELF
The best way to do this is to protect yourself from the disease itself. Covid-19 causes inflammation in the vascular structure, damage to the internal surface cells of the vessel, spasm and widespread clotting, leading to vascular blockage and disrupting the nutrition of the target organ. However, heart failure develops directly due to damage to heart muscle cells. In many people who bypass Covid-19 and regain health, this damage continues and causes serious cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, first of all, in the covid-19 pandemic, the mask is a blood thinner recommended by doctors for vascular health, etc., to protect against the disease by following the rules of distance and hygiene, etc. such medications should be used regularly.
