Background:
Peptic ulcer (PU) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are significant chronic illnesses, particularly in the elderly. This study investigates the relationship between PU and CVD in older adults and the impact on mortality risk.
Methods:
This study was conducted utilizing data from a nationwide health survey of the elderly in China. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests were applied in survival analysis to evaluate mortality differences between the groups. Stratified models were applied to evaluate the effects of factors.
Results:
This study included 3,636 participants. CVD was significantly associated with an increased PU risk (OR = 1.31, 95%CI 1.03-1.66, p = 0.04), while PU had no significant effect on CVD incidence (OR = 1.08, 95%CI 0.77-1.51, p = 0.64). Mortality risk was significantly higher in the CVD group (HR = 1.22, 95%CI 1.03-1.45, p = 0.02) compared to the non-comorbid group. No significant difference in mortality was observed between the PU-only and combined PU-CVD groups. Stratified analysis identified advanced age (≥75 years) (HR = 1.45, 95%CI 1.06-1.87, p < 0.01) and male gender (HR = 1.29, 95%CI 1.05-1.62, p < 0.01) as significant mortality risk factors among PU patients.
Conclusion:
PU does not have a significant impact on overall mortality or the prognosis of CVD patients. CVD was a risk factor for PU, but PU did not significantly increase CVD risk. A higher mortality risk was observed in older and male PU patients. These findings suggest the need for gender-sensitive and age-stratified management strategies for PU in high-risk groups.

An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
