<s>[INST] Is my increasing age risk for heart failure? [/INST] Heart failure can develop at any age but becomes more common with increasing age. Around 1% of people under 65 years of age have heart failure, but 7% of 75-84-year-olds have heart failure and this increases to 15% in people older than 85. It is the most common cause of hospitalization in patients above 65 years of age. Source: NARAYANA HEALTH .
