  • Cardiology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • High incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in aged populations.
  • Challenges in Andalusia: large geographic area, high percentage of individuals over 65, lower socioeconomic status, and limited access to specialized vascular care.
  • Need for localized health assessments in aging communities.

Purpose:

  • To analyze cardiovascular disorders and their associated risk factors in hospitalized elderly patients.
  • To address the specific health challenges within the Andalusian community.
  • To inform targeted interventions for geriatric cardiovascular health.

Summary:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted with 443 hospitalized elderly patients.
  • Data collected focused on cardiovascular conditions and identified key risk factors.
  • Findings provide insights into the health profile of this demographic in Andalusia.

Impact:

  • Highlights the need for specialized geriatric cardiovascular services in underserved regions.
  • Informs public health strategies for managing cardiovascular disease in aging populations.
  • Contributes to the understanding of CVD risk factors in the elderly within a specific socio-demographic context.
