Older free-ranging rhesus macaques exhibit greater interventricular septal thickness compared to younger ones, indicating significant age effects.
Analysis showed that free-ranging macaques have better diastolic function with a higher E/A ratio than their captive counterparts.
Cross-sectional assessment utilized transthoracic echocardiography on 133 free-ranging rhesus macaques to evaluate cardiac structure and function.
These findings point to the ecological context's importance when considering models of human aging and cardiovascular health.

Observational analysis reveals lower diastolic function in captive rhesus macaques, suggesting environmental influence on cardiac health.

Dawkins et al. (2025) studied this question.
