Youth Vascular Consortium (YVC) Protocol: Establishing Reference Intervals for Vascular Ageing in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults - PubMed
To date, 31 research groups from 19 countries have joined the YVC. To our knowledge, this will be the largest study of its kind to investigate vascular ageing in youth.
