Background: The geriatric population is defined as the population aged 60 years and above. Cardiovascular diseases are the most common diseases prevailing among the geriatric population of India. Cardiovascular diseases are the diseases involving heart and blood vessels. These diseases include hypertension, stroke, heart attack, heart failure, etc. Aim: The present study aimed at finding the pooled prevalence of cardiovascular diseases among the geriatric population of India by using meta-analysis. Materials and Methods: In this study, we have included various studies from different parts of India by searching databases like Google Scholar, Pub Med, etc. from the year 2003 to 2020. Meta-analysis was conducted using the random effect model in R software version 3.4.3. to compute the pooled prevalence of cardiovascular diseases among the geriatric population of India along with 95% confidence interval. Results: The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases among the geriatric Indian population included 5,426 study subjects from 20 studies in urban areas and 11,781 subjects from 29 studies conducted in rural areas of India respectively. The overall prevalence of cardiovascular diseases among geriatric population of India was 36.6% (95% CI: 31.9%-41.3%)
