What is Gender Difference in Age-related Changes in Vascular Function about?

Jensen‐Urstad K, Johansson J (Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden) Gender difference in age‐related changes in vascular function. __J Intern Med__ 2001; **250:** 29–36. **Purpose.** We investigated whether, in a randomly selected population of 55‐year‐old men and women, there is a relationship between vascular function measured as flow‐mediated (endothelium‐dependent) and nitroglycerine‐mediated (nonendotheliumdependent) dilatation of the brachial artery and conventional risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as gender, smoking, elevated blood‐lipids and high blood pressure. The results are compared with those in a young healthy population of 35‐year‐olds. **Subjects.** A total of 57 men (73% of the invited males) living in the community and 47 women (62% of the invited females) participated and were compared with a previously studied 35‐year‐old population (52 men and 56 women). **Methods.** Basal brachial artery diameter was measured by high‐frequency ultrasound methods. Endothelial function was measured as flow‐mediated dilatation (FMD) in response to reactive hyperaemia. The nonendothelium‐dependent vasodilatation was measured after administering sublingual nitroglycer
