Description

Rule Du and co-authors link paths of healthy aging to heart disease risk in this 2026 study. How aging unfolds over years, not just at one checkup, may steer chronic disease. Proof on that point was thin.

The team drew on three big aging cohorts from Europe, England, and China. All participants were at least 50 and free of heart disease during the path-finding years. A healthy aging score, built from 41 signs of inner capacity, sorted people into trajectories. The study then asked which paths led to new cardiovascular disease. Steady healthy paths, it turns out, matter for the heart as much as any single measure.
