Early Life Vascular Risk and Midlife Markers of Brain Aging: Insights from Longitudinal Neuroimaging and Cognitive Trajectory Studies

This review synthesizes longitudinal evidence linking early adulthood vascular risks, particularly elevated systolic blood pressure and smoking, to midlife cognitive decline and brain structural alterations. It highlights critical intervention windows and neuroimaging biomarkers indicative of cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative injury.
