Abstract：Objective To investigate the long-term prognosis and its risk factors in elderly patients with grade Ⅱb vascular aging.Methods A total of 219 elderly patients with grade Ⅱb vascular aging admitted to our department between January 2013 and June 2015 were enrolled,and based on their prognosis,they were assigned into a poor prognosis group(n=71)and a control group(n=148).The clinical data were collected from all participants.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors.Results The poor prognosis group exhibited significantly larger proportions of patients aged ≥80 years(23.9％vs 6.8％)and diabetes mellitus(54.9％ vs 28.4％),and lower rates of using aspirin(21.1％ vs 41.2％)and statins(22.5％ vs 43.2％)compared with the control group(P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that advanced age(≥80 years old)and diabetes mellitus were independent risk factors for poor long-term prognosis(OR=3.500,95％CI:1.507-8.130,P＜0.01;OR=2.400,95％CI:1.282-4.492,P＜0.01),while aspirin and statins were protective factors(OR=0.389,95％CI:0.194-0.777,P＜0.01;OR=0.417,95％CI:0.211-0.824,P＜0.05).Conclusion Elderly patients with gradeⅡ b vascular aging have poor long-term outcomes.Aged ≥ 80 years and comorbid diabetes mellitus independently increase the risk of adverse outcomes,while the use of aspirin and statins appears to be associated with a reduced risk.
