The Concept of vascular age (Age of arteries) is a concept related to cardiovascular risk that might be more easily understood by all patients. This study aimed to evaluate whether vascular age is advanced as matched to their chronological age in apparently healthy, asymptomatic population and to assess the contributing risk factors for premature vascular ageing. Hospital based, observational study of 547 individuals conducted from May 2015 to December 2017. Persons enrolled were asymptomatic with normal ECG, chest X-RAY and ECHO and were drug free. Population enrolled were monitored by regular visit and telephonically for the events. The vascular age of the population was calculated using Framingham vascular age calculator. Statistical analyses were done using SPSS software V 20.0. The cut off value of P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
