Abstract
Arterial stiffness is a significant predictor of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Physical activity (PA) has been extensively studied for its potential to reduce arterial stiffness, but the relationship between different types, durations, and intensities of PA and arterial stiffness remains a topic of ongoing research. Therefore, in this narrative review, we evaluated the current evidence focusing on the effect of PA on arterial stiffness and vascular health and discussed the known underlying physiological mechanisms. PA, irrespective of its intensity or pattern, is consistently associated with lower arterial stiffness. Aerobic exercise, particularly at higher intensities, is the most effective strategy for reducing arterial stiffness. These benefits are especially significant in populations with higher cardiovascular risk, such as those with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Therefore, maintaining an active lifestyle into older age is crucial for vascular health and may contribute to healthy aging.
动脉僵化是预测心血管疾病和死亡率的重要指标。人们对体育锻炼（PA）降低动脉僵化的潜力进行了广泛研究，但不同类型、持续时间和强度的体育锻炼与动脉僵化之间的关系仍是一个持续研究的课题。因此，在这篇叙述性综述中，我们重点评估了 PA 对动脉僵化和血管健康影响的现有证据，并讨论了已知的潜在生理机制。无论强度或模式如何，有氧运动始终与降低动脉僵化相关。有氧运动，尤其是较高强度的有氧运动，是降低动脉僵化最有效的策略。对于心血管风险较高的人群，如 2 型糖尿病和高血压患者，这些益处尤为显著。因此，在老年期保持积极的生活方式对血管健康至关重要，并可促进健康老龄化。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Clinical Hypertension is a peer-reviewed, monthly publication that serves internists, cardiologists, nephrologists, endocrinologists, hypertension specialists, primary care practitioners, pharmacists and all professionals interested in hypertension by providing objective, up-to-date information and practical recommendations on the full range of clinical aspects of hypertension. Commentaries and columns by experts in the field provide further insights into our original research articles as well as on major articles published elsewhere. Major guidelines for the management of hypertension are also an important feature of the Journal. Through its partnership with the World Hypertension League, JCH will include a new focus on hypertension and public health, including major policy issues, that features research and reviews related to disease characteristics and management at the population level.
