Global PAH Data Shows Rising Cases and Risk Factors in Elderly
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has increased worldwide in older adults, largely due to growing aging populations, with the greatest risk factors in elderly women.
A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that from 1990 to 2021, cases of PAH increased worldwide among older adults. Elderly women were found to face the highest risk of death, according to 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 analysis of the data is detailed in the research paper "Worldwide Burden of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Adults Aged 65 Years and Older From 1990 to 2021," conducted by researchers in China.
Author's summary: PAH cases rise in elderly due to aging populations.
