Vitamin K and Ageing
A study of the effects of low vitamin K levels on the stiffness of arteries, which in turn may cause high blood pressure and vascular disease, especially in the elderly population is currently underway with The Department for Ageing and Health. The study is examining the effect of oral vitamin K supplementation in patients aged 70 and over with hypertension, type 2 diabetes or suffering from a previous vascular event. This is work is conducted in collaboration Professor Marion McMurdo and Dr Miles Witham.
