Risk factors such as smoking, chronic kidney disease, and aging can contribute to plaque formation. The gradual loss of elasticity in arterial walls and the presence of other risk factors, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, contribute to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) observed in aging populations.
