“…For atherosclerosis, the studies included a total of 227 and 247 healthy subjects for vegetarian and omnivorous diets, respectively (age range 24–60 years), and for arterial stiffness, the studies included a total of 253 and 259 healthy subjects for vegetarian and omnivorous diets, respectively (age range 20–70 years). Finally, six studies measured cf-PWv 26,27,29,31–33 as an index of arterial stiffness and seven studies measured c-IMT 24,25,27–31 as an index of atherosclerosis. Table 1 shows the characteristics of the included studies.…”

“…Vegetarian diets are known for their important content of various antioxidants and phytochemicals, associated with reduced oxidative stress and inflammation, which are key contributors to vascular health. Vegetarian diets have also been linked to decreased blood pressure and lower concentrations of blood lipids [50].…”

Early vascular aging is related to various cardiovascular diseases including hypertension, coronary heart disease, and stroke. Healthful lifestyle practices and interventions, including dietary regimens and consistent aerobic exercise, exert favorable modulation on these processes, thereby diminishing the risk of cardiovascular disease with advancing age. The principal objective of this review was to conduct a comprehensive evaluation and synthesis of the available literature regarding the effectiveness of different diets on vascular health, such as arterial stiffness and endothelial function. To conduct this review, a thorough search of electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection was carried out. Based on the existing evidence, the Mediterranean, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, and low-calorie diets may have a beneficial effect on vascular health. However, more randomized controlled trials with sufficient sample sizes, longer follow-ups, rigorous methodologies, and, possibly, head-to-head comparisons between the different diets are needed to shed light on this topic.
