Prevalence of COPD and Tobacco Smoking in Tunisia — Results from the Bold Study
In Tunisia, there is a paucity of population-based data on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) prevalence. To address this problem, we estimated the prevalence of COPD following the Burden of Lung Disease Initiative. We surveyed 807 adults aged 40+ years and have collected information on respiratory history and symptoms, risk factors for COPD and quality of life. Post-bronchodilator spirometry was performed and COPD and its stages were d…
Common values in assessing health outcomes from disease and injury
Years lived with disability (YLDs) for 1160 sequelae of 289 diseases and injuries 1990–2010
Disability-adjusted life years (Dalys) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990–2010
Global and regional mortality from 235 causes of death for 20 age groups in 1990 and 2010
P1-8 Principal components analysis of diet is not good at identifying foods that are causally linked to disease
Introduction Dietary patterns derived empirically from food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) data using principal components analysis (PCA) are widely employed for the investigation of diet-disease relationships. The aim of the study was to investigate whether PCA performed better at identifying associations between diet and disease than an analysis of each individual food in the FFQ separately after adjusting for multiple testing, a process we refe…
Patterns of acute stroke care in three districts of southern England
OBJECTIVE--To quantify the use of health care services by acutely ill stroke patients in three district health authorities. DESIGN--A follow up study of all patients recorded in population based registers who had a first ever stroke in three district health authorities, with assessment following the onset and three months after the stroke. SETTING--West Lambeth, Lewisham and North Southwark, and Tunbridge Wells District Health Authorities in sout…
Does the incidence, severity, or case fatality of stroke vary in southern England
STUDY OBJECTIVES--To determine differences in incidence and case fatality of stroke in district health authorities with differing standardised mortality ratios (SMR) for stroke in residents aged under 65 years in whom death from stroke is considered 'avoidable'. DESIGN--Registration of first ever strokes in three district health authorities. Patients were assessed and followed up over one year by one of three observers. SETTING--West Lambeth, Lew…
Respiratory effects of lowering tar and nicotine levels of cigarettes smoked by young male middle tar smokers. I. Design of a randomised controlled trial
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to investigate the effect on respiratory health of male middle tar smokers changing the tar and nicotine levels of the cigarettes they smoke for a six month period. DESIGN--This was a randomised controlled trial. Middle tar smokers were randomly allocated to smoke one of three different types of cigarette (low tar, middle nicotine; middle tar, middle nicotine; and low tar, low nicotine) in place of their usual cigaret…
Contributions of incidence and case fatality to mortality from bladder cancer in the south Thames Regions
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to assess the individual contributions of incidence and case fatality to variations in bladder cancer mortality between districts in the South Thames Regions. DESIGN--The standardised mortality ratios for bladder cancer were calculated for the health districts in the South Thames Regions using data from the Thames Cancer Registry. The results were compared with the standardised registration ratios, used as a measureme…

Asthma deaths in England and Wales 1931-85
A recent increase in asthma mortality has been reported in several countries. Such increases can be brought about by changes in factors acting close to the time of death, but they may also be caused by risk factors determined by the generation into which a person is born, as indicated by the year of birth. Asthma mortality rates since 1931 are independently associated with birthdate as well as date of death. In particular there has been an increa…
