What are the epidemiologic risk factors for hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction in noninstitutionalized adults aged 70 years or older?
In adults aged 70 and older, traditional cardiovascular risk factors and functional limitations significantly increase the risk of hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction, with notable gender-specific differences.
