Overview

CR programs now serve older patients; leaves open whether age-specific adaptations improve outcomes.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the changes in the sociodemographic profile of patients in cardiovascular rehabilitation over 25 years.
Analyzed data from a large cardiovascular health center in Canada from 2001 to 2025.
Utilized one-way ANOVA and Chi-square tests to evaluate trends in sociodemographic characteristics.
Grouped participants by 5-year intervals and employed systematic data cleaning and harmonization.
Included 40,822 participants with a median age increase from 58 to 67 years over two decades.
Women's participation decreased initially but later increased from 27.8% to 33.4% over time.
Educational levels among participants increased, with those having primary or incomplete secondary education rising to 20.6%.

Study Design

Type

Cohort (n=40,822)

Multicenter

Structured PICO

Population

40,822 patients with cardiovascular disease enrolled in a cardiovascular rehabilitation program at a single Canadian center between 2001 and 2025.

Exposure

Cardiovascular rehabilitation program (assessing temporal trends in enrollment over 25 years)

Outcome

Temporal trends in the sociodemographic profile (age, sex, education, employment, marital status, ethnicity) of enrolled patients

Main Result

p-value: p=<0.001

Sociodemographic diversity among patients enrolling in cardiovascular rehabilitation in Canada has significantly increased over the past 25 years, reflecting progress toward more equitable access to secondary prevention.

Hausen et al. (2026) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular diseases (n=40,822). Time period of enrollment (2001-2025) vs. Earlier time periods was evaluated on Temporal trends in the sociodemographic profile of patients enrolled in cardiovascular rehabilitation (p=<0.001). Over 25 years, the sociodemographic diversity of patients enrolled in cardiovascular rehabilitation significantly increased (p<0.001), with the median age rising from 58 to 67 years.
