Question
The cardiovascular system is the system responsible for delivering blood to different parts of the body. Which of the following best describes the connection between cardiovascular disease and age?

As people age, the heart becomes more efficient with each pump, increasing cardiac output.
As people age, their blood vessels become more elastic leading to less cardiovascular disease.
As people age, plaque builds up in the arteries increasing vessel resistance, which leads to disease.

The statement that best describes the connection between cardiovascular disease and age is:
**As people age, plaque builds up in the arteries increasing vessel resistance, which leads to disease.**
As individuals age, they are more likely to experience factors like arterial plaque buildup (atherosclerosis), which can increase blood vessel resistance and lead to various cardiovascular diseases.
