Marked and widening socioeconomic inequalities in type 2 diabetes prevalence in Scotland
BACKGROUND: This study investigated the association between socioeconomic status and type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence in Scotland in 2021 and tested the null hypothesis that inequalities had not changed since they were last described for 2001-2007. METHODS: Data from a national population-based diabetes database for 35-to-84-year-olds in Scotland for 2021 and mid-year population estimates for 2019 stratified by sex and fifths of the Scottish Inde…
Diabetes comorbidities in low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus, particularly type 2 diabetes, is a major public health burden globally. Diabetes is known to be associated with several comorbidities in high-income countries. However, our understanding of these associations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where the epidemiological transition is leading to a growing dual burden of non-communicable and communicable disease, is less clear. We therefore conducted an umbre…
Socioeconomic status and self-reported, screen-detected and total diabetes prevalence in Chinese men and women in 2011-2012
BACKGROUND: A rapid epidemiological transition is taking place in China and the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and diabetes prevalence is not clear and may vary by population characteristics and geography within the country. We describe the associations between educational level, annual household living expenditure (AHLE) and diabetes prevalence in a large middle-aged and elderly Chinese population using data from a nationwide cro…

Socioeconomic status, comorbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Scotland 2004–2011
BACKGROUND: Mortality in people with and without diabetes often exhibits marked social patterning, risk of death being greater in deprived groups. This may reflect deprivation-related differences in comorbid disease (conditions additional to diabetes itself). This study sought to determine whether the social patterning of mortality in a population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is explained by differential comorbidity. METHODS: Hospital rec…
OP96 Applying Missing Data Methods to Routine Data
Background Research using data from large population-based datasets is often hindered by the presence of non-trivial proportions of missing data. Numerous approaches for handling missing data are available, each of which make important assumptions regarding the mechanism by which the missing data occurred. Using a 2008 extract of the Scottish Care Information-Diabetes Collaboration (SCI-DC), a population-based register of patients with diabetes d…
OP49 Socio-Economic Status and Lung Cancer Incidence in Men with type 2 Diabetes in Scotland (2001-2007)
Background Diabetes is a chronic disease which affects c. 5% of Scottish men; lung cancer is the second most common cancer among men in Scotland. While both conditions exhibit marked social patterning (specifically, higher prevalence in deprived groups), little research has sought to determine whether the relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and lung cancer differs between men with and without diabetes. Methods Data from a population-…
Impact of telemetry supported home blood pressure monitoring
Aim: To explore the experiences of participants in a randomised controlled trial of telemetry supported home blood pressure monitoring for people with hypertension in order to explain the outcomes and guide further service development
The effect of socioeconomic status on mortality in the critically ill
Background Admission to intensive care units (ICUs) is determined by degree of organ failure and the need for close monitoring. It is associated with high intensity, expensive treatments. Socioeconomic status (SES) is an important determinant of health outcomes, but few studies have assessed its effect on outcome from critical illness. Aims We investigated the association of SES with short and long-term mortality for ICU patients in Scotland. Met…
P2-313 Relative mortality from common cancers among people with type 2 diabetes and the effect of socio-economic status
Introduction Socio-economic status (SES) is associated with both type 2 diabetes and cancer mortality and may confound their association. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study using a population-based national diabetes database for 35–84 year olds in Scotland for 2001–2007 and an area-based measure of SES. RRs for mortality from lung, colorectal, breast and prostate cancer among people with type 2 diabetes compared to the population w…
P51 Surviving intensive care
Background Intensive care units (ICUs) are an expensive resource. However, this expense does not end at hospital discharge. ICU survivors continue to experience significant morbidity. As the demand for ICU is likely to increase substantially, there is a need to establish how much health care resource survivors consume following discharge from hospital. This will enable appropriate service planning and policy development to meet the needs of these…
Socioeconomic status and diabetes-related hospital admissions
BACKGROUND: Low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with adverse cardiovascular risk factor patterns and poorer outcomes for people with diabetes. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed using data for 35,925 people with diagnosed diabetes in Scotland and an area-based measure of SES using linked hospital and population-based diabetes register records. Comparisons by quintile of SES were made before (with p values presented for trend …
Socio-economic status, incidence of type 2 diabetes and relative mortality in Scotland 2001–2007
Background RRs of mortality associated with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have declined in recent years but are higher in women than men in many populations. The role of socio-economic status (SES) in risk of mortality among people with diabetes is not clear. Methods We used data from a population-based national diabetes register to investigate the associations between T2DM, SES and mortality. SES was categorised with Q5 and Q1 representing the most dep…
Forecasting diabetes prevalence using a simple model
Mice with a mutation of the ζ-associated protein of 70 kDa gene ( skg mutation) are genetically prone to develop autoimmune arthritis, depending on the environment. In a set of mice with the mutation, the amount of ζ-associated protein of 70 kDa protein as well as its tyrosine phosphorylation upon TCR stimulation decreased from +/+, skg /+, skg / skg , to skg /− mice in a stepwise manner. The reduction resulted in graded alterations of thymic pos…
Relative risk of mortality associated with diabetes in Scotland in 2007
People with diabetes are known to be at increased risk of mortality compared to the general population but recent data on this association are limited. Diabetes register data are collected in Scotland in primary and secondary care for the whole population of people with diabetes and can be linked to national mortality records. We estimated standardised mortality ratios
Global Prevalence of Diabetes
OBJECTIVE—The goal of this study was to estimate the prevalence of diabetes and the number of people of all ages with diabetes for years 2000 and 2030. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—Data on diabetes prevalence by age and sex from a limited number of countries were extrapolated to all 191 World Health Organization member states and applied to United Nations’ population estimates for 2000 and 2030. Urban and rural populations were considered separate…
The Northern League
The 1996 political elections have confirmed the electoral importance and stability of the Northern League in the North-east of Italy. The party's strongholds are located in ‘industrial districts’, specific socio-economic areas where local communities and small and medium businesses merge. This paper argues that the resilience and indeed increasing success of the League in these northern areas since its appearance in the 1980s can be explained lar…
