Hsu B, Korda R, Naganathan V, et al. - This study was carried out to distinguish the burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in older adults using community and residential care services. The study population consisted of 266,942 people aged 45+ from the 45 and Up Study (2006–09) in Australia linked with records for hospital stays, aged care service and deaths for the period 2006–14. Researchers computed the prevalence at baseline and entry to aged care, and incidence rates for major CVD and six cardiovascular diagnoses, seven cardiovascular interventions (collectively CV interventions), cardiovascular-related intensive care unit stays and cardiovascular death. The data indicate the significant burden of CVD in people using both community-based and residential aged care services and demonstrates the importance of optimising cardiovascular care for older adults.
