RESUMO
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and thyroid disease is higher in older women, placing these women at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The presenting features of these conditions are most often clinically silent. Effective treatments for these conditions are available to prevent cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. An overview of current screening guidelines for these common conditions is presented.
