Why the study?
Does increasing age influence the incidence and remaining lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer in older men?
Does increasing age influence the incidence and remaining lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer in older men?
In older men, the incidence of new cardiovascular disease continues to increase after age 80 but is often diagnosed at death, with remaining lifetime risk plateauing in the 10th decade.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Declining remaining lifetime CVD risk with age in men warrants caution on competing risks; leaves open mechanisms and diagnostic patterns in the oldest old.
Driver et al. (2008) studied this question.
