Swedish men who had high fitness at â¼18 years of age (early adulthood) had a lower prevalence of atherosclerotic plaques 40 years later (later adulthood), independent of muscle strength. The underlying mechanism of this protective association of higher fitness on the presence of plaques may be through the combination of later adulthood body mass index, systolic blood pressure, glucose tolerance status, non-HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides instead of through any single risk factor.Muscle strength during early adulthood was not associated with atherosclerosis during later adulthood.
