I think since obesity is on the rise the average 45-year-old might have worse arteries than we'd like to think. But either way, it's crazy for kids 30 years younger to have older looking arteries. I wonder what a 15 year old's arteries are supposed to look like though. Hmm. Too much thought given to arteries today.
