Published 17 July 2020 Different methods can be used to define healthy vascular ageing (HVA). In this prospective cohort study, we explored three different definitions in order to provide guidance for which to use. 2718 subjects were included from the Cardiovascular (CV) arm of the Malmö Diet Cancer Study (MDCS; median age 71.9 years, 62.2% females). Three different definitions of HVA were used: H
