| Zusammenfassung: | The roles of age, gender, diet, plasma lipoproteins, blood pressure, smoking, physical activity, alcohol consumption and psychosocial factors as determinants of cardiovascular diseases have been studied mainly in the middle aged but little in the elderly.

This review examines the published evidence, emphasising the potential of extending the prevention of cardiovascular diseases beyond 60. |
