COVID-19 May Accelerate Blood Vessel Aging in Women—Even After Mild Infection!
Recent research shows that women who’ve had COVID-19 can experience vascular aging equivalent to about 5 years, with the effect being more pronounced in those with persistent symptoms. Vaccination offers protection, highlighting its importance.
- Regular cardiovascular check-ups
- Stay up to date with vaccines
- Monitor post-COVID symptoms
Vaccination Provides Significant Protection
One of the most important findings of the study is that vaccinated women had significantly lower PWV (arterial stiffness) than unvaccinated women, suggesting that vaccines not only protect against infection but may also prevent long-term damage to blood vessels. In contrast, vaccination status did not significantly impact PWV in men.
Why This Matters:
Vaccination helps reduce the risk of accelerated vascular aging caused by COVID-19.
Even if you have mild or asymptomatic infection, being vaccinated can help protect your heart and arteries.
Women with persistent COVID symptoms benefit most from vaccination, reducing the likelihood of lasting vascular damage.
