[Focus on cardiovascular metabolism research and guide the prevention and control of chronic diseases in the older adults].

Abstract

With the acceleration of global population aging, the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among the older adults are continuously rising, posing an essential public health challenge that severely threatens their health and quality of life. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the research on epidemiological characteristics, risk factors, and prevention strategies of CVD in older adults. This review aims to summarize the current research status of CVD in the old adults, explore key factors affecting cardiovascular health, including genetic factors, lifestyle, and metabolic abnormalities, and evaluate the effectiveness of novel interventions. The goal is to provide a scientific basis for developing CVD prevention and management strategies tailored to the old adults.
