Human arterial walls obtained from intracranial and extracranial sites were studied regarding the change in stiffness, elastic modulus, dimension and microstructure with age. The stiffness parameter calculated directly from the relationship between transmural pressure and wall diameter was proposed to express the stiffness of a vascular wall comprehensively. The incremental elastic modulus was utilized as a parameter which represents the intrinsic elastic properties of wall material itself. The intracranial arteries below middle age are significantly stiff and have higher incremental elastic moduli and wall stresses compared with the extracranial arteries. The elastic properties and wall dimensions of intracranial and extracranial arteries showed different trends with age. These mechanical and morphological features of intracranial arteries were considered important factors which contribute to the initiation and development of some cerebrovascular diseases.
