Does lifestyle modification and risk factor management reduce cardiovascular risk in elderly adults?
Does lifestyle modification and risk factor management reduce cardiovascular risk in elderly adults?
This review highlights the importance of managing lifestyle modifications and other risk factors, such as homocysteinemia, for cardiovascular risk reduction in older adults.
May support lifestyle and homocysteinemia management in older adults; leaves open need for RCTs before practice change.
Primary care practitioners must explore the most effective techniques for promoting cardiovascular risk reduction in older adults. Managing lifestyle modification risk factors, such as smoking cessation, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and nutrition is discussed in this article. Other risk factor modification efforts, often not highlighted, include managing homocysteinemia, and sedentary behavior. These factors are presented as equally important modifiable coronary heart disease risks.
