What is the central question of the study? Do peripheral and cerebral vascular function differ between young non‐Hispanic Black men and women? What is the main finding and its importance? The non‐Hispanic Black women in this study presented greater peripheral conduit artery and cerebrovascular reactivity, yet similar peripheral microvascular function relative to the non‐Hispanic Black men. These preliminary findings suggest that young Black women and men possess divergent vascular function, possibly contributing to the unique non‐Hispanic Black sex differences in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
