Question:
What are the risk-factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in older people?
Answer:
Significance of the study
According to the Australian Government Department of Health (2016), cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disease burden in Australia. The total number of people who are living with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing gradually. According to the reports during the tenure of 2014 to 2015, 4.2 million Australian adults are reported to be suffering from CVD. Of them 1.2 million people are detected with complex CVD condition like stroke and heart disease and 2.6 million adult Australian are reported of having hypertension and 430,000 have indicated of having heart attack at certain point of time (Australian Government Department of Health, 2016). The research conducted by Halter et al. (2014), stated that prevalence of CVD increases with age driven in certain parts through an absolute rise in the incidence of CVD among adults who are over 65-year of age. However, the exact mechanisms and the associated risk factor underlying the age-associated increase in risk of CVD among older adults remain poorly understood. Proper analysis of the risk factor behind the CVD development among the older adults will help frame proper interventions before hand and thereby helping to promote health related quality of life of the those individuals (Halter et al., 2014; Afilalo et al., 2014).

Summary of evidence (600)
The analysis of the articles which were retrieved through electronic database highlighted three potential factors which increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease among the older adults and this include (a) Type 2 Diabetes, (b) High blood pressure or hypertension and (c) Obesity
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)
According to Aune, Norat, Leitzmann, Tonstad and Vatten (2015), CVD is a common co-morbidity among the older adults with T2DM. In this domain, Einarson, Acs, Ludwig and Panton (2018) conducted a systematic review over the literature which are published in-between 2007 to 2017 over the topics like stroke, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, ischemic heart disease, coronary heart disease and heart failure. The analysis of the 57 selected articles highlighted that prolong past history of T2DM increase the risk of developing CVD among the older adults. The coronary artery disease and the stroke are highlighted as the major contributor towards high risk of mortality. Shah et al. (2015) conducted cohort study in order to elucidate the effect of the risk factor, T2DM over the progress of CVD. Their aim was to study the association between T2DM and incident of CVD. Their cohort included 1921260 individuals. The analysis of the results highlighted that peripheral arterial disease and heart failure are most common and initial manifestation of CVD diseases among T2DM population. The relative risk of mortality increases with age. The association between T2DM and CVD was shown inversely through the observational population study conducted by Hayward et al. (2015). Their 10 years of follow-up study elucidated that patients with T2DM who are randomly assigned to intensive glycemic control for 5.6 years had fewer reported cases of CVD in comparison to the control group who received no specific treatments for glycemic control.
High Blood Pressure
Hypertension or high blood pressure is also regarded as a potential risk factor behind the development of CVD among the older adults. Wu et al. (2015) conducted a large cohort study over 77,389 community dwelling older adults who are age more than 65-years in order to study the effect of high blood pressure behind the development of CVD during the tenure of 2006 to 2010. The analysis of the hazard ratio among the three different hypertension group revealed that high systolic blood pressure is associated with higher mortality rate and increase in the vulnerability of developing CVD. The significance of the data was highlighted with the statistical analysis with confidence interval of 95%. Yong, Lin and Tan (2017) conducted a study over the older adults of China in order to study the primary prevention method of CVD. The main primary prevention model targeted by the study includes hypertension, in the form of high blood pressure management, anti-hypertension medication and dyslipidemia or the management of hypercholesterolemia. The analysis of the results highlighted that the effective management of the high blood pressure helps in reducing the mortality and the morbidity rate associated with CVD. These results showed that high level of blood pressure or hypertension is a potential risk factor behind the development of CVD among the older adults. Miller, Navar, Roubin and Oparil (2016) conducted a similar study like Yong, Lin and Tan (2017) over the older adults in order to analyze the primary prevention mode of CVD and cardiac arrest. The analysis of the results highlighted that the early detection and the treatment of the hypertension or high blood pressure helps to decrease the severity of the disease and the vulnerability of encountering cardiac accident or strokes. This analysis further highlighted that the group of population who have prolong history of unmanaged high blood pressure are more vulnerable towards developing CVD.
Obesity
Dhana et al. (2016) conducted a population based observational study over the older adults in order to study in order to elucidate the impact of obesity and over-weight over the life expectancy of the older adults and the risk of developing CVD. They developed multistate tables in order to calculate the prevalence, incidence rate and the hazard ratio. The analysis of this data for a 12 year of follow-up highlighted that obesity has no direct relation with the life-expectancy of the older adults but increases the risk of developing CVD. Amarya, Singh and Sabharwal (2014) conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis in order to study the health consequences of obesity among the older adults. The qualitative analysis of the data collected from the literary articles highlighted that the population of the older adults who are obese are more predispose towards the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension, which in turn increases the risk of developing CVD leading to stroke.
Critical review of literature
Generally methodology selected for the selected study was fair. While majority of the study were cohort or population based observational study, few are systematic review and meta-analysis. The selection of the online literary articles failed to highlight any randomised control trial which coincided with the scope of the research. According to Deaton and Cartwright (2018) the analysis of the randomised control trial is a rigorous way of determining the cause-effect relation between the overall treatment and the outcome of the study. Sherman et al. (2014) are of the opinion that the double or the single blinded randomised control trials are powerful experimental design that helps to provide medical information, which are unbiased. So lack of incorporation of the randomised control trial can be highlighted as a drawback of this review. Incorporation of the secondary research is another drawback of the study as Moher et al. (2015) are of the opinion that systematic reviews, which are not based on the randomised control trial has so specific design of selection and thus the outcome of the data are at times biased. Apart from this the review was succinct and compact. The study conducted by Mandviwala, Khalid and Deswal (2016) also highlighted that obesity is an important marker against the development of cardiovascular disease. Obesity invites in several metabolic syndrome like T2DM and hypertension which are further characterised as independent risk factor behind the development of T2DM. Mandviwala, Khalid and Deswal (2016) further highlighted in their review that proper calculation of the obesity paradox helps in proper assessment of CVD.
Strength and limitation
The review of the literature was based on analysis of the factors contributing towards the development of the cardiovascular disease among the older adults. The selected studies for the review of literature were mainly based on large sample size and focus was analysis of the selected risk factors towards the contribution of the disease development. However, there are few limitations of the study; one selected group of study was focused over the China population. According to Lewis (2015) results obtained through a study which are directed towards any particular population might not be applicable over the global scale and this might be highlighted as a limitation.
Relevance and impact of findings and identified gaps
The main relevance of the findings is, the study successful highlighted the three potential factors which are the main contributors towards the development of the CVD among the older adults. This analysis of the risk factor is helpful towards the effective prevention of such chronic diseases from the grass-root level. The detection of the risk factor during the early stage helps to prevent the disease development and thereby helping to improve the better-quality of life. Proper elucidation of the risk factors helps the healthcare professionals to devise the intervention plan accordingly. However, the review of literature failed to highlight the lifestyle factors which are responsible to the development of the CVD due to lack of time and word count. According to Colpani et al. (2018) lifestyle factors like smoking, drinking, unhealthy diet and lack of proper physical exercise increases the risk of developing CVD irrespective of the age bracket. The analysis of these unhealthy lifestyle factors help in framing proper intervention for the disease.
Conclusion
Thus from the above discussion it can be concluded that CVD is an important reason underlying the high risk of mortality and morbidity among the older adults of Australia. The development of the CVD hampers the quality of life and well-being of the older adults. The analysis of the literatures which are published online highlighted that three main factors underlying the disease development is previous disposition of type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure or hypertension and obesity. The main implication of the research is analysis of the risk factors of CVD helps in the framing of the proper interventions for the effective treatment of the disease. However, the review of literature failed to incorporate the randomised control trails in the analysis and also failed to encompass the unhealthy lifestyle habits which contribute towards the disease development.
