“…Table 1 shows the demographic and socioeconomic features of the participants. Compared with samples in areas with long-term PM 2.5 concentrations < 75 µg/m 3 , samples in areas with longterm PM 2.5 concentrations ≥ 75 µg/m 3 had a higher prevalence of CVD-associated disability.…”

Background: Increasing evidence regards the role of ambient particles on morbidity and mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, there was no evidence about the association between ambient particles and CVD-associated disability. This study used large national representative data to investigate the relationship between long-term exposure to an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 µm (PM 2.5 ) and CVD-associated disability among Chinese adults aged 45 years old and above and estimated the burden of CVD-associated disability attributed to PM 2.5 . Methods: Using data from the Second National Sample Survey on Disability, this study used a combination of self-reports or family members’ reports and on-site medical diagnosis by experienced specialists to ascertain CVD-associated disability in 852,742 adults aged 45 years old and above. Logistic regression models and spline regression models were used to examine the association between PM 2.5 long-term exposure and CVD-associated disability, and the population attributable risk was calculated to assess the burden of CVD-associated disability contributed to PM 2.5 . Results: Every increase of 10 μg/m 3 in PM 2.5 was associated with an 8% (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.10) increase the odds of CVD-associated disability. Stratified analyses by demographic factors suggested that this association was robust. There were 1.05 (0.74,1.35) million -3.53 (3.29,3.75) million CVD-associated disabilities attributed to high PM 2.5 concentration exposure (≥35 µg/m 3 ) among middle-aged and older adults in 2006. A reduction in PM 2.5 concentrations to 35 µg/m 3 corresponded to a decrease of 13.59% (9.55%, 17.46%)–23.98% (17.17%, 30.25%) in CVD-associated disability by age group, respectively, and this magnitude increased in areas with a high prevalence of CVD-related disability. Conclusions: This study suggests that reducing PM 2.5 concentrations may contribute to preventing CVD-associated disability and decreasing air pollution-related medical expenditures and rehabilitation fees.

“…Among the most daunting cardiovascular diseases, with potential life-threatening complications in the elderly, is the stroke. Stroke is one of the main causes of hospitalization, disability and death among elderly patients; cerebrovascular pathologies represent at the same time a risk factor in the development of vascular dementia [ 76 , 77 ].…”

Cardiovascular diseases create an important burden on the public health systems, especially in the elderly, mostly because this group of patients frequently suffer from multiple comorbidities. Accumulating cardiovascular risk factors during their lifetime has a detrimental effect on an older adult‘s health status. The modifiable and non-modifiable cardiovascular risk factors are very diverse, and are frequently in a close relationship with the metabolic comorbidities of the elderly, mainly obesity and Diabetes Mellitus. In this review, we aim to present the most important cardiovascular risk factors which link aging and cardiovascular diseases, starting from the pathophysiological links between these factors and the aging process. Next, we will further review the main interconnections between obesity and Diabetes Mellitus and cardiovascular diseases of the elderly. Lastly, we consider the most important aspects related to prevention through lifestyle changes and physical activity on the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases in the elderly.

BackgroundAtherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) and dyslipidemia are associated to a higher risk of cardiovascular events, mortality, use of healthcare resources and costs. In Spain, the evidence about the administration of lipid-lowering treatments in clinical practice, and their clinical effectiveness in patients with ASCVD and hypercholesterolemia and patients with FH is scarce. Therefore, a multidisciplinary working group of cardiologists, family physicians, internal medicine specialists and neurologists was gathered for the Reality study. The aim of this study is to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics, comorbidities, and concomitant medication of patients with ASCVD and hypercholesterolemia and of patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). The use of healthcare resources and costs associated to the management of these diseases after their diagnosis were also considered.MethodsThis is an observational and retrospective study, based on the BIG-PAC® database, which includes the electronic medical registries (EMRs) of 1.8 million people from 7 Autonomous Communities in Spain (including public primary care centers and hospitals). The study includes patients who had a new or recurrent episode of ASCVD during the recruitment period (from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/2018). The index date will be defined as the date of the ASCVD event, and the follow-up period will be 24 months. According to their first diagnosis in the database, patients will be classified as ASCVD (5 groups: stable/unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, and peripheral arterial disease) or FH.DiscussionThis study aims to analyze the treatment patterns and use of healthcare resources of ASCVD and FH in Spain. The prevalence of these disorders will also be estimated. Due to the high morbidity and mortality associated with these diseases, it is expected that our study will provide useful information for healthcare systems and decision makers to improve the management of these disabling diseases.
