Ten-Year Survival in 75-Year-Old Men and Women: Predictive Ability of Total Cholesterol, HDL-C, and LDL-C
Objective. The purpose of this study was to investigate prognostic impact of cholesterol and its subfractions among 75-year-old people from the general population. Methods and Results. The study comprised a random sample (222 women and 210 men) from the general population (participation rate 70%). During 10-year follow-up, 19% of women and 35% of men experienced a major cardiovascular event (MC...

متن کاملPopulation screening of 75- and 76-year-old men and women for silent atrial fibrillation (STROKESTOP).
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is important because it is common and is a major cause of stroke unless treated with oral anticoagulant. The prevalence of AF increases with age as does the risk of stroke. At 75 years the risk from age alone is so high that current guidelines recommend anticoagulation even in the absence of other risk factors. Atrial fibrillation is often asymptomatic and only discover...
متن کاملLeft ventricular systolic dysfunction in 75-year-old men and women; a population-based study.
AIMS To determine the prevalence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in 75-year-old men and women. METHODS AND RESULTS In a population-based random sample of 75-year-old subjects (n=433; response rate 70.1%) the left ventricular systolic function was determined using two echocardiographic methods: (1) wall motion in nine left ventricular segments was visually scored and wall motion index...
متن کاملCombining LDL-C and HDL-C to predict survival in late life: The InChianti study
BACKGROUND While the relationship between total cholesterol (TC) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) progressively weakens with aging, several studies have shown that low TC is associated with increased mortality in older individuals. However, the possible additive/synergic contribution of the two most important cholesterol rich fractions (LDL-C and HDL-C) to mortality risk has not been previously...
