Modifiable risk factors, cardiovascular disease, and mortality in 155 722 individuals from 21 high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries (Pure)
Availability and affordability of medicines and cardiovascular outcomes in 21 high-income, middle-income and low-income countries
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to examine the relationship between access to medicine for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) among people at high risk of CVD in high-income countries (HICs), upper and lower middle-income countries (UMICs, LMICs) and low-income countries (LICs) participating in the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study. METHODS: We defined high CVD risk as the presence of any of the foll…
Socioeconomic status and risk of cardiovascular disease in 20 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries
Background Socioeconomic status is associated with differences in risk factors for cardiovascular disease incidence and outcomes, including mortality. However, it is unclear whether the associations between cardiovascular disease and common measures of socioeconomic status—wealth and education—differ among high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries, and, if so, why these differences exist. We explored the association between education a…
Household, community, sub-national and country-level predictors of primary cooking fuel switching in nine countries from the Pure study
The importance of community and sub-national factors relative to household characteristics in determining polluting-to-clean fuel switching varied dramatically across the nine countries examined. This highlights the potential importance of national and other contextual factors in shaping large-scale clean cooking transitions among rural communities in low- and middle-income countries
Smoking and obesity in Chile's Third National Health Survey
The Chilean Ministry of Health recently disclosed the first results of the 2016-2017 National Health Survey (Encuesta Nacional de Salud, ENS). The survey was cross-sectional and used a multistage stratified random sampling strategy resulting in a final sample of 6 233 persons ≥ 15 years old, with national, regional, and urban/rural representativeness. The survey results show consistent reductions in tobacco consumption compared to previous nation…
Global and Regional Effects of Potentially Modifiable Risk Factors Associated With Acute Stroke in 32 Countries (Interstroke)
Wealth and cardiovascular health
Inequality in hypertension management outcomes decreased as countries became richer, but the considerable variation in patterns of wealth-related inequality - even among countries at similar levels of economic development - underscores the importance of health systems in improving hypertension management for all. These findings show that some, but not all, countries, including those with limited resources, have been able to achieve more equitable…
Effective universal health coverage and improved 1-year survival after acute myocardial infarction
UNLABELLED: In 2005, Chile implemented a universal system of health guarantees (AUGE) aimed at improving equitable access to quality medical care for priority health conditions, including acute myocardial infarction (MI). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate 1-year survival in MI patients before and after AUGE. METHODS: Retrospective cohorts of patients with MI (with and without ST segment elevation) discharged alive from six public hospitals between January 2…
Relative validity of an FFQ to estimate daily food and nutrient intakes for Chilean adults
Objective FFQ are commonly used to rank individuals by their food and nutrient intakes in large epidemiological studies. The purpose of the present study was to develop and validate an FFQ to rank individuals participating in an ongoing Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiological (PURE) study in Chile. Design An FFQ and four 24 h dietary recalls were completed over 1 year. Pearson correlation coefficients, energy-adjusted and de-attenuated correl…
P2-218 Secondary prevention in acute myocardial infarction in Chile
Background In 2005 the Chilean government started a healthcare reform that guarantees medical treatment for patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), including secondary prevention. Aim To evaluate the impact of this program in risk factors control and events. Methods 514 consecutive MI patients hospitalised in six public hospitals. Data collection was obtained by a review of medical records and a 12-month interview (anthropometric and bioc…
Effect of Potentially Modifiable Risk Factors Associated With Myocardial Infarction in 52 Countries (The Interheart Study)
BACKGROUND: Although more than 80% of the global burden of cardiovascular disease occurs in low-income and middle-income countries, knowledge of the importance of risk factors is largely derived from developed countries. Therefore, the effect of such factors on risk of coronary heart disease in most regions of the world is unknown. METHODS: We established a standardised case-control study of acute myocardial infarction in 52 countries, representi…
