Summary

This study looked at 74 healthy adults aged 20 to 80 to understand how natural aging affects heart muscle scarring (fibrosis) and heart function. Participants had MRI scans, blood tests, and skin measurements to detect fibrosis. The goal was to learn how aging alone changes the heart, without the influence of disease or lifestyle factors.
