PP50 Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference and Incident Coronary Heart Disease in the Million Women Study
Background Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference are measures of total and abdominal adiposity, respectively, and both relate to coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. However, these measures are highly correlated, and require large-scale studies to reliably examine their separate associations with incident CHD. We examined the prospective relation of BMI and waist circumference with incident CHD in a large UK population-based cohort. Methods…
OP27 Marital Status and Ischaemic Heart Disease
Background Being married is known to decrease the risk of all cause and cardiovascular mortality for men, but it is not clear if marriage confers a similar benefit for women. In addition, few studies have examined marital status in relation to both mortality and disease incidence to determine whether the beneficial effects of marriage influence the aetiology or prognosis of disease. Methods A total of 747,532 women (mean age: 59.8, SD 4.9), witho…
P1-336 Validation of NHS hospital admission records for ischaemic heart disease in the million women study
Introduction The Million Women Study is a large longitudinal UK study of women's health. Between 1996 and 2001, 1.3 million women mostly aged 50–64 years were recruited through NHS breast screening centres in England and Scotland. Their current average age is 68 years. For all participants, the study has linkage to hospital admission records (Hospital Episode Statistics [HES] for England, Scottish Morbidity Records) as one source of study outcome…
O1-4.2 Individual participant analysis of secular trends in cardiovascular mortality in UK women, 2000–2009
Introduction Cardiovascular mortality has declined rapidly in recent decades in many developed countries. Although determinants of these trends have been investigated in ecological studies, little evidence has so far been available from individual participant data. Methods The Million Women Study is a prospective cohort study of approximately 1.3 million women from England and Scotland, recruited in 1996–2001. For women 50–69 years of age, trends…
P2-36 Body mass index and risk of incident ischaemic heart disease in women
Background Various studies have examined body mass index in relation to mortality due to ischaemic heart disease (IHD), but few data are available on incident IHD including non-fatal events particularly in women. Methods We used multivariate Cox regression, taking into account confounding and mediating factors, to examine the association between body mass index and first IHD event (ascertained from hospital records and death registration) in the …
P1-526 Incidence of venous thromboembolism in relation to body mass index, postoperatively and without surgery
Introduction Surgery is a major risk factor for venous thromboembolism. The incidence of venous thromboembolism is also known to increase with increasing body mass index (BMI). We describe the risk of hospital admission for (or death from) venous thromboembolism in relation to BMI, both in the absence of surgery and in the 12 weeks after surgery. Methods Women in the UK were recruited into the Million Women Study in 1996–2001 and followed by reco…
