Abstract
The high prevalence and incidence of cardiovascular disease in the oldest old justify consideration of both primary and secondary prevention measures in this age group. However, evidence for the effectiveness of any preventive intervention is lacking. Regarding primary prevention, it is also unknown which elderly are actually at risk of developing new cardiovascular disease.
