Epidemiological analysis of cardiac risk factors in elderly people

Le résumé fourni par la source

This study analyzed cardiac risk factors found in older adults, highlighting the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases with advancing age. A total of 372 elderly individuals were evaluated at Basic Health Units, and divided into sedentary and active groups. Research emphasized the importance of physical activity in reducing cardiovascular risk, using the Framingham Score to identify high cardiovascular risk and to guide interventions. The sociodemographic analysis included age group, ethnicity, marital status, education, income, and family history of diseases. Bayesian inferences were conducted to assess the number of simultaneous changes in variables and calculate the proportion of individuals with potential cardiac risk. The final conclusion of Bayesian inferences indicates that approximately 29.0% of individuals in the sample may bear potential cardiovascular risk due to two or more alterations in the evaluated variables.
