Health Status And Delays In Referral-To-Treatment Waiting Times for Elective Admissions of Adults From Deprived Areas And Ethnic Minority Backgrounds
We studied all patients (total 53,611) whose referral-to-treatment (RTT) ended in hospital admission ('admitted pathways') between 01/2019 and 12/2023. Their health status and RTT waiting times were related to indices of deprivation (IMD: combined data from income, employment, education, health, crime, barriers to housing and services, and living environment) and to ethnicities (87% Caucasians; 6% South Asians; 5.1% Other Ethnicities; 0.9% Blacks…
Life Expectancy of White and Non-White Elite Heavyweight Boxers
Background In post-industrial countries, ethnic minorities suffer poorer health and premature deaths. The present study examined ethnic differences in life expectancy and related features among elite heavyweight boxers. Methods Dates of birth and death, anthropometry, and championship years were gathered from media archives for champions and challengers (never been a champion) between years 1889 and 2019. Cox regression adjusted for age at contes…

Quality of life in relation to overweight and body fat distribution
OBJECTIVES: This study quantified the impairment of quality of life attributable to body fatness by using the standardized SF-36 Health Survey. METHODS: Tertiles of waist circumference and body mass index (BMI) in 1885 men and 2156 women aged 20 to 59 years in the Netherlands in 1995 were compared. RESULTS: The odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of subjects with the largest waist circumferences, compared with those in the lowest tertile, we…
Waist circumference as a measure for indicating need for weight management
Objective : To test the hypothesis that a single measurement, waist circumference, might be used to identify people at health risk both from being overweight and from having a central fat distribution. Design : A community derived random sample of men and women and a second, validation sample. Setting : North Glasgow. Subjects : 904 men and 1014 women (first sample); 86 men and 202 women (validation sample). Main outcome measures : Waist circumfe…
