Background: Hypertension among the elderly is a major, highly prevalent yet treatable cardiovascular disease. Aims & objectives: Study aims to highlight the risk factors for hypertension in the elderly in an urban setup for the benefit of improving quality of life and also reduce the incidence of the cardiovascular related complications. Methodology: This is a Cross-sectional observational study. Included 125 study subjects based on selection criteria. The selected patients were subjected to a preformed and pretested schedule of questions pertaining to the risk factors. Results: Among the known hypertensive patients above 60 years of age, 125 subjects were included in the study. Smoking (62%), alcohol consumption (21%), family history of hypertension (26%), family history of diabetes (70%) were statistically significant risk factors observed for the development of hypertension. Conclusion: Sedentary lifestyle (physically less active) and anthropometric measures like overweight and obesity, abnormal waist circumference, and abnormal waist hip ratio were all identified as remarkable risk for hypertension. Myocardial infarction (20%), stroke (14%), and heart failure (12%) were the chart buster complications of hypertension in the vulnerable geriatric population.

Chronic rhino sinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the sinuses, commonly seen in between 40-60 years aged population. In CRSwNP patients the main focus of treatment is to promote patient’s quality of life, to reduce sinonasal symptoms and nasal polyp size by usage of both oral as well as topical corticosteroids and nasal saline irrigations. If symptoms persists after using medical therapy surgical excision is the last option but relapse of disease is present in most cases even after surgical intervention. Overall, from the various recent past and recent trials, Dupilumab was very well tolerated in maximum number of the patients and no serious adverse events were noted. In addition the patients with asthma noticed good improvement in endoscopic nasal polyp scores, asthma control, and lung function, inflammation of both the upper and lower airways.
