Skin Carotenoids and Vascular Biomarkers Among School-Aged Children
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Objectives: While carotenoids show promise for protecting against arterial stiffening and vascular dysfunction in adults, these relationships remain poorly understood in early life. Since childhood represents a critical period for establishing dietary patterns and vascular health trajectories, this study aims to examine the associations between skin carotenoids (SC) and vascular biomarkers in school-aged children.
