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, mainly 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 found that the global burden of PAH has increased, highlighting the need for better prevention and treatment strategies.
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 study analyzed data from the Global Burden of Disease Study.
- Researchers from China published the analysis in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
Author's summary: PAH cases rise in older adults worldwide.
