Childhood stress and blood vessel aging in young adults
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how childhood stress might affect blood vessels and aging in young adults. It tests if a certain protein (SIRT1) is linked to early blood vessel aging.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 30 years old.
- You have an ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) score of 0 or at least 4.
- Your resting blood pressure is not too high (below 140/90).
- Your BMI is less than 30, and your weight has been stable (no big changes in the last 6 months).
- You do not have any heart, lung, or metabolic disease, and you are not taking prescription medications for those conditions.

This study looks at how sleep is affected by tough childhood experiences. It tests whether changing sleep patterns can help young adults who have had these experiences and currently have poor sleep.
This study tests a treatment aimed at increasing “rest-and-digest” nerve activity to improve how blood vessels work, especially in people with vascular oxidative stress. It is designed for African American adults and looks at whether the intervention can improve blood vessel-related health markers.
This study tests whether early-life stress affects blood vessel function in young adults by looking at a type of cell stress called oxidative stress. It involves measuring how well your blood vessels work and may help understand why some people have higher heart risks.
This trial studies whether taking an NAD supplement can support brain blood vessel health as people age. Participants will be tested for brain and health changes and may help researchers understand how to keep the brain’s blood vessels healthier over time.
This trial tests a nutritional supplement (nicotinamide riboside) to see how it affects blood flow in healthy adults. It may help understand how to support vascular health as we age.
This trial tests whether nicotinamide riboside can improve elevated blood pressure and blood vessel stiffness in middle-aged and older adults. You may be randomly assigned to take the study medicine or not, and the team will check your heart/blood vessel measurements over time.
