Kardiovaskuläre Epidemiologie des Alterns

Die von Univ.-Prof. Ute Mons geleitete Arbeitsgruppe Kardiovaskuläre Epidemiologie des Alterns wird durch die Marga und Walter Boll-Stiftung gefördert und nutzt epidemiologische Methoden, um Forschungsfragen der Alternsforschung mit Schwerpunkt auf kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen zu bearbeiten.

Aufgabe der Arbeitsgruppe ist es, eine Kohortenstudie zu etablieren sowie klinische Daten aus der Routineversorgung am Herzzentrum für die Forschung zu erschließen. Auf Basis dieser Datenquellen soll ein epidemiologisches Forschungspaket bearbeitet werden, um die Entstehungsmechanismen, altersspezifischen Erscheinungsformen und den Stellenwert kardiovaskulärer Erkrankungen für den Gesamtgesundheitszustand und die Funktionalität in der älteren Bevölkerung vor dem Hintergrund der demographischen Alterung zu untersuchen. Ziel ist es insbesondere, Risikofaktoren und -marker zu identifizieren, um die Pathophysiologie, das Auftreten und die Prognose kardiovaskulärer Erkrankungen sowie ihrer Begleit- und Folgeerkrankungen besser zu verstehen und um gezielt präventive Maßnahmen zu entwickeln. Dabei sollen insbesondere auch Aspekte der Präventionsforschung sowie der Versorgungsforschung berücksichtigt werden.
