Hypertension among older adults in low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: This study uses data from the World Health Organization's Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) to examine patterns of hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment and control for people aged 50 years and over in China, Ghana, India, Mexico, the Russian Federation and South Africa. METHODS: The SAGE sample comprises of 35 125 people aged 50 years and older, selected randomly. Hypertension was defined as ≥140 mmHg (systolic b…

P2-295 Socio-demographic patterns of physical activity in India
Introduction The existence of a socio-demographic patterns of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in India has been suggested, with a higher CVD risk in individuals: from urban areas, the south, higher socio-economic status (SES), and in the elderly. Whether this pattern is replicated in physical activity (PA) is unknown. We aimed to examine the socio-demographic pattern of PA in India using the Indian Migration Study (IMS); a cross-sectional sib-pair d…
P2-436 Rural-urban migration in relation to DXA measures of adiposity in India
Introduction India is experiencing an epidemic of obesity, diabetes and coronary disease. This epidemic is largely attributed to rapid urbanisation, driven in part by rural-urban migration. The aim of this study is to investigate whether rural-urban migration is related to DXA measures of adiposity within the Hyderabad arm of the Indian Migrant Study. Methods Migrants of rural origin, their rural dwelling sibs, and those of urban origin together …
P2-2 Higher fish intake is associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes in adult Indian population
Introduction Diet is a key component of a healthy lifestyle for preventing type 2 diabetes. Despite a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Indians, the impact of diet has not been fully explored. This study aimed to investigate the association between fish intake and the risk of type 2 diabetes among adult men and women in India. Methods Analysis is based on a population based cross sectional study of 99 574 women and 61 361 men aged 20–49 years…
Prediction scores to identify older adults at high risk for type 2 diabetes
The greatest relative increase in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) prevalence in developed countries thought likely to occur over the next 25 years will be in the over 65 age group. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of both simple strategies based on simple clinical parameters (suitable for use in primary care) and more complex scores involving blood markers to identify older individuals at high risk of developing T2DM. A
Socioeconomic position and hysterectomy
OBJECTIVES: To examine the associations between indicators of socioeconomic position (SEP) and hysterectomy in two Australian and two British cohorts. STUDY POPULATION: Women participating in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH), born 1921-1926 and 1946-1951, and two cohorts of British women, the British Women's Heart and Health Study and the MRC National Survey of Health and Development, born at similar times (1920 to 1939…
Birth weight is inversely associated with coronary heart disease in post-menopausal women
Objectives: (1) To assess the association between birth weight and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in a cohort of post-menopausal women, (2) to determine the combined effects of birth weight and adult body mass index on CHD, (3) to assess the role of insulin resistance as a mediating factor in the associations. Design: Cross sectional survey. Setting: 23 British towns. Participants: 1394 women aged 60–79 years. Main outcome measures: coronary h…
Geographical variation in cardiovascular disease, risk factors, and their control in older women
Objectives: To measure the geographical variation in prevalence of cardiovascular disease, risk factors, and their control in a nationally representative sample of older British women. Methods: Baseline survey using general practitioner record review, a self completed questionnaire, research nurse interview, and physical examination in a randomly selected sample of women aged 60–79 drawn from 23 towns in England, Scotland, and Wales. Results: Of …
Performance of the WHO Rose angina questionnaire in post-menopausal women
Objective: To assess the performance of a shortened version of the Rose angina questionnaire focusing on exertional chest pain. Methods: Cross sectional analysis of 3987 women aged 60 to 79 years from 23 British towns. The performances of definite Rose angina (using data from the full Rose angina questionnaire) and exertional chest pain (using data from a subset of three questions from the Rose angina questionnaire) were assessed against a medica…
Socioeconomic position, occupational exposures, and gender
he direction and magnitude of sex differences in health vary according to the particular health condition and phase of the life cycle. In examining gender differences in health it is necessary to assess the contribution made by the particular characteristics of women and men, for example, wealth, health behaviours, and the distribution of labour both inside and outside of the home. 2 Socioeconomic inequalities in disability are likely to result f…
Association between offspring birth weight and atherosclerosis in middle aged men and women
L ow birth weight is associated with cardiovascular disease in adulthood, but the mechanisms underlying these associations remain unclear.1 One possibility is that poor intra-uterine nutrition “programmes” adult disease.1 An alternative hypothesis is that specific polymorphisms with pleiotrophic effects result in both small birth size and cardiovascular disease risk.2 Epidemiological evidence for a genetic role in the association comes from the r…
Is housework good for health? Levels of physical activity and factors associated with activity in elderly women. Results from the British Women's Heart and Health Study
Objective: To determine the prevalence of achieving new recommended levels of physical activity, the types of activity involved, and their determinants among elderly British women. Design: National cross sectional survey. Participants: 2341 women aged 60 to 79 from 15 British towns. Main outcome measures: Prevalence of subjects achieving recommended levels of physical activity. Results: Over two thirds of the participants were active at new recom…

The menthol sensor TRPM8 can be activated by cold and thus serves as a thermometer in a primary afferent sensory neuron for noxious cold detection. However, the underlying design principle is unknown. Here, a hairpin topological structural model and graph theory were prepared to test a role of the cold-dependent hairpin formation in the cold-evoked gating pathway of TRPM8. The results showed that the formation of a large lipid-dependent hairpin i…
Public health implications of ageing
In October 1997 many journals around the world will be focusing by agreement on Ageing as an issue for health research and publication (the week of 22 October for weekly journals). We are pleased to join in this global focus on probably the major source of need for care, manage ment, and research in the next century. We have had many papers submitted and because of the long time scales involved in publishing a bi-monthly jour nal, we will have se…

Customary Physical Activity, Psychological Well-being and Successful Ageing
Profiles of customary physical activity (CPA) and psychological wellbeing were obtained from a random community sample of 1,042 individuals aged 65 years and over. Activities were assessed with regard to their estimated minimum energy cost and/or their assumed contribution to functional capacity. The structure of CPA, and associations between activity levels, morale and mental health were then investigated. Women and men showed clear differences …
Nutritional status of Laotian refugee children in Ubon camp, Thailand
A survey carried out in May 1979 of the nutritional status of 2152 children aged 1-5 living in Ubon Refugee Camp, Thailand, showed that 165 (7.5%) probably suffered from malnutrition, using arm circumference as an index. This index was validated by comparisons with weight for age and with morbidity in 'malnourished' and normal groups. Arm circumference appeared to be a valid index of nutritional status and a useful screening test with a false pos…
