Advancing age is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease among men and women. Hyperviscosity is caused by alterations of blood cells, mainly red blood cells, and plasma components (mainly fibrinogen) and it is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Several factors are able to influence whole blood and plasma viscosity. Scarce data are available about the relation between plasma, whole blood viscosity and advanced age. We used data from the 6- year follow-up of the InChianti Study (n=948) to determine the relation between advanced age and blood rheology parameters.

Abstract
Advancing age is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease among men and women. Hyperviscosity is caused by alterations of blood cells, mainly red blood cells, and plasma components (mainly fibrinogen) and it is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Several factors are able to influence whole blood and plasma viscosity. Scarce data are available about the relation between plasma, whole blood viscosity and advanced age. We used data from the 6- year follow-up of the InChianti Study (n=948) to determine the relation between advanced age and blood rheology parameters.
