Global PAH Data Shows Rising Cases and Risk Factors in Elderly
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) cases have increased worldwide among older adults from 1990 to 2021, primarily due to growing aging populations, with elderly women facing the highest risk of death.
A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, titled "Worldwide Burden of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Adults Aged 65 Years and Older From 1990 to 2021," analyzed data from the Global Burden of Disease Study.
Our findings provided a novel global perspective on the temporal trends of PAH burden in the elderly population and identify gaps in various aspects of prevention, management, and intervention strategies for PAH.
The research highlights the need for better prevention and treatment of PAH in older adults, particularly elderly women.
Author's summary: PAH cases rising in elderly worldwide.
