Background Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), a heterogeneous group of bioactive
compounds, are thought to contribute to arterial stiffness, which in turn is a causal factor in
the pathogenesis of stroke, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. Whether AGEs derived
from food also contribute to arterial stiffness is not clear. Objectives We investigated whether
higher intake of dietary AGEs is associated with arterial stiffness. Methods In this cross-
sectional observational study in 2255 participants of The Maastricht Study (mean±SD age …
