“…Smoking affects older adults disproportionately because of the longer duration of cumulative injury, leading to higher associated rates of CVD, pulmonary disease, and cancers. 97 , 98 Smoking accelerates the aging process through free radical damage, shortening of telomere length, development of concurrent pathologies, and therefore, contributes to age-related syndromes such as frailty, functional impairment, cognitive decline, and poor QOL. 98 , 99 …”

Age is associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease, which constitutes the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly population. In this text we thoroughly review current evidence regarding the impact on cardiovascular disease of the most important cardiovascular risk factors, especially prevalent and common in the elderly population. Diagnosis and treatment approaches are also addressed, also highlighting the importance of adequate primary and secondary prevention and management. Also, the relationship between cardiovascular disease and some comorbidities and geriatric conditions, such as frailty, particularly common in the elderly, is reviewed, together with some other issues, less often addressed but closely related to ageing, such as genetics, structural and electrical heart changes and oxidative stress. All such questions are of great importance in the comprehensive approach of risk factors and cardiovascular disease in the elderly.
