Popis:	The prevalence of chronic disease increases with age. Consistent with the high prevalence is often substantial morbidity and mortality. Among the most common chronic diseases in older adults are those associated with micro- and macrovascular disorders. This chapter emphasizes those syndromes, and focuses on diabetes, major cardiovascular diseases and risk factors, and on cerebrovascular disease. Each of these disorders has significant implications in the management of older adults undergoing dental care. Because these co-morbidities are frequently coexistant and complex, familiarity with their management will continue to be increasingly important to dentists caring for older adults.
