Rucas; Michael Gurven; Hillard Kaplan; Jeffrey Winking; Steven W. Gangestad; María CrespoItem type: Item , Inflammation and Infection Do Not Promote Arterial Aging and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors among Lean Horticulturalists(Public Library of Science, 2009) Michael Gurven; Hillard Kaplan; Jeffrey Winking; Daniel Eid Rodríguez; Sarinnapha M. Vasunilashorn; Jung Ki Kim; Caleb E. Finch; Eileen M. CrimminsInflammation may not always be a risk factor for arterial degeneration and CVD, but instead may be offset by other factors: healthy metabolism, active lifestyle, favorable body mass, lean diet, low blood lipids and cardiorespiratory health. Other possibilities, including genetic susceptibility and the role of helminth infections, are discussed. The absence of PAD and CVD among Tsimane parallels anecdotal reports from other small-scale subsistence populations and suggests that chronic vascular disease had little impact on adult mortality throughout most of human evolutionary history.
