ABSTRACT The risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease increases with advancing age. Elevated LDL‐cholesterol and non‐HDL‐cholesterol levels remain predictive incident events among individuals older than 75 years. Risk prediction is less certain because most current calculators lack specificity in those years do not adjust for co‐morbidities, functional status, frailty, cognition which significantly impact prognosis this age group. Data on the benefits risks lowering statins patients...
Background: Older adults often have multiple chronic problems requiring them to manage complex medication regimens overseen by various clinicians. Personal health applications (PHAs) show promise assisting in self-management, but adoption of new computer technologies this population is challenging. Optimizing the utility PHAs requires a thorough understanding older adults' needs, preferences, and practices. Objective: The objective our study was understand self-management issues faced...
