Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Older Adults

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death as well as a leading cause of disability and impaired quality of life in older adults with diabetes. Therefore, preventing cardiovascular events in this population is an important goal of care. Available evidence supports the use of lipid-lowering agents and treatment of hypertension as effective measures to reduce cardiovascular risk in older adults with diabetes. Glucose control, smoking cessation, weight control, regular physical activity, and a prudent diet are also recommended, although data supporting the efficacy of these interventions are limited. While reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality remains a primary objective of preventive cardiology in older adults with diabetes, the impact of these interventions on functional well-being, cognition, and other geriatric syndromes requires further study.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Type 2 diabetes is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and both CVD mortality and the effect of diabetes on CVD risk increase with older age and frailty.

    “Type 2 diabetes is a strong risk factor for CVD, and both CVD mortality and the effect of diabetes on the risk of CVD increase sharply with older age and frailty status”
  • Statin trials for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease in adults with diabetes have demonstrated comparable relative reductions in recurrent cardiovascular events and mortality by age.

    “Statin trials for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease in adults with diabetes have also demonstrated comparable relative reductions in recurrent cardiovascular events and mortality by age42.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
