Objective
To determine prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) of the elderly population admitted to a geriatric center and to evaluate its distribution by age and sex groups.
Material and methods
A retrospective descriptive study of patients over 65 years admitted to a geriatric center from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2010 was performed. Prevalence data were obtained from the patient's medical record regarding personal data and/or taking of chronic medication.
Results
A total of 401 patients (68.3 % women) over 65 years, mean age 82.91 ¡À 7.69 years, were admitted. Mean disease background found was 7.14 ¡À 2.83, those of the cardiovascular system being more frequent.
CVRF was found in 79.9 % : 35.41 % patients 1 CVRF, 27.27 % 2 CVRF, 13.4 % 3 CVRF and 3.83 % 4 CVRF. These presented as: hypertension 63.59 % , smoking 15.96 % , dyslipidemia 28.18 % , diabetes 25.18 % and obesity 12.97 % . By gender (female/male, in % ): hypertension 69.98/51.97, smoking 2.92/44.1, dyslipidemia 29.93/24.41, diabetes 25.55/24.41, obesity 17.52/3.15.
CVD was found in 44.02 % of patients: 34.91 % 1 CVD, 7.18 % 2 CVD and 1.43 % 3 CVD. These were distributed as: cerebrovascular disease 19.2 % , ischemic heart disease 14.21 % , peripheral arterial disease 4.24 % and heart failure 15.96 % . By gender (female/male, in % ): cerebrovascular disease 17.52/22.83, ischemic heart disease 10.91/21.26, peripheral arterial disease 5.47/1.57, heart failure 16.06/15.75.
Conclusions
Most patients admitted were women.
The most prevalent CVRF was hypertension (63.59 % ). The most frequent CVD was cerebrovascular disease (19.2 % ). More CVRF were presented in patients with CVD.
Women had a higher prevalence of CVRF than men, except smoking, and more heart failure and peripheral arterial disease. Men had more ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease.
