How Arterial Hypertension and Obesity Contribute to Geriatric Syndromes
https://doi.org/10.37586/2949-4745-1-2024-13-21
Abstract
Arterial hypertension and obesity are well-established cardiovascular risk factors, but their impact on major geriatric syndromes in individuals over 60 is not well understood. The association between hypertension, obesity, and the development of frailty, sarcopenia, and cognitive impairment varies depending on age. As individuals age, the impact of cardiovascular factors on geriatric syndromes decreases or becomes less significant. This hypothesis is supported by a number of studies on centenarians. The review also examines the impact of hypertension and obesity on prognosis in older individuals.
