In general, a high CVD prevalence in elderly patients with various cancer types (Supplementary Table 2) increased the prevalence rank of each cancer (e.g., colorectal cancer in LVD, IHD, VTE, high NT-proBNP, or CVD, and urinary bladder cancer in LVD), while an average CVD prevalence in frequent cancers retained the latter’s higher proportions (e.g., prostate cancer with SD, AF, or CVD) in 2015. The gene discussed is NPPB; the disease is cancer.
