Results: The rate of cardiovascular diseases in the elderly was 59,2%, in which hypertension was the
most common disease, with the rate of 59%, followed by stroke and ischemic heart disease (9,4% and
9,2%); other diseases had a smaller rate (<4%), these diseases tended to increase gradually with age.
However, only 41,1% ofthe elderly with cardiovascular disease have been receiving treatment and
30.5% have been instructed to change their lifestyle. In addition, when considering the factors related
to cardiovascular diseases in the elderly in Hanoi, hypertension and dyslipidemia were the most
common risk factors, with a ratio of 98,7% and 77,8% of the elderly with cardiovascular diseases,
respectively.

treatments for the elderly and propaganda, raise awareness about cardiovascular diseases, and control
risk factors for the elderly.
