Alcohol consumption and the incidence of type II diabetes
Background: This study examines the relation between alcohol and type II diabetes and the possible mediating effects of HDL-cholesterol and serum insulin. Methods: Prospective study of 5221 men aged 40–59 years with no history of coronary heart disease, diabetes, or stroke drawn from general practices in 18 British towns. Results: During the mean follow up of 16.8 years there were 198 incident cases of type II diabetes. Occasional drinkers were t…
Type of alcoholic drink and risk of major coronary heart disease events and all-cause mortality
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the effects of beer, spirits, and wine drinking on coronary heart disease (CHD) events (fatal and nonfatal) and all-cause mortality. METHODS: Men aged 40 to 59 years (n = 7735) were drawn at random from one general practice in each of 24 British towns and followed up for an average of 16.8 years. RESULTS: Regular drinkers showed a significantly lower relative risk of CHD, but no all-cause mortality, than occasional…

Ischaemic heart disease
OBJECTIVES--To assess the relationship between haematocrit and risk of major ischaemic heart disease events. DESIGN--Prospective study of a cohort of men followed up for 9.5 years. SETTING--General practices in 24 towns in England, Wales, and Scotland (British Regional Heart Study). SUBJECTS--Altogether 7735 men aged 40-59 years at screening, who were selected at random from one general practice in each of 24 towns, were studied. MAIN OUTCOME MEA…
Asymptomatic hyperglycaemia and major ischaemic heart disease events in Britain
OBJECTIVE--To examine the association between non-fasting serum glucose concentrations and major ischaemic heart disease (IHD) events (fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction). DESIGN--A prospective study. SUBJECTS--A population based sample of 7735 middle aged British men. Known diabetics, men with a glucose concentration > or = 11.1 mmol/l at screening, and hypertensive patients taking regular medication were excluded from the analysis. With …

The Dinamap 1846SX automated blood pressure recorder
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to compare the performance of the Dinamap 1846SX automated oscillometric blood pressure recorder with that of the Hawksley random zero sphygmomanometer during use under field study conditions. DESIGN--Two independent within subject measurement comparisons were made, one in adults and one in children, each conducted in three stages over several months while the Dinamap instruments were being used in epidemiological fie…
Blood lipids
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to assess the interrelationship between alcohol intake, cigarette smoking, body weight, and blood lipid concentrations. DESIGN--This was the cross sectional (screening) phase of a prospective study. The main outcome measure was the blood lipids (serum total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides). SETTING--General practices in 24 towns (The British Regional Heart Study). SUBJECTS--Subjects were 7735 men aged …
Self-assessment of Health Status and Mortality in Middle-Aged British Men
In a prospective study of 7725 middle-aged British men, 357 of whom died in an average follow-up period of four years, self-assessment of health status was strongly associated with mortality. Men who reported poor health had an eight-fold increase in total mortality compared with those reporting excellent health. Those perceiving fair or poor health were older, more likely to be manual workers and cigarette smokers, more likely to be thin and to …
Alcohol and Mortality in British Men
Height and social class in middle-aged British men
A study of 7735 middle-aged British men drawn from general practices in twenty-four towns shows that there has been a progressive increase in mean height in the men who were born between 1919 and 1939. This is true for both manual and non-manual classes, but the mean heights of the two groups are significantly different and remain widely separated over this period of time. Manual workers lag twenty years behind non-manual workers in their attaine…
Non-participation and mortality in a prospective study of cardiovascular disease
Men who did not participate in a prospective study of cardiovascular disease (The British Regional Heart Study) were younger than the participants, more likely to be unmarried, and more likely to be less skilled workers. In the first three years of follow-up, their total mortality rate was significantly higher than that of the participants; thereafter it declined to levels not significantly different from those of the participants. This excess of…
Risk factors for ischaemic heart disease
Risk factors for major ischaemic heart disease (acute myocardial infarction or sudden death) have been investigated in a prospective study of 7735 men aged 40-59 years drawn from general practices in 24 British towns. After a mean follow-up of 4.2 years, there have been 202 cases of major ischaemic heart disease. Univariate estimates of the risk of ischaemic heart disease show that serum total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride concent…
Effects of tap water lead, water hardness, alcohol, and cigarettes on blood lead concentrations
A survey of middle-aged men in 24 British towns has found pronounced geographical variation in blood lead concentrations. Towns with the highest mean blood lead concentrations have soft water supplies and have the highest water lead concentrations. Individual blood lead can be considerably increased by raised household tap water lead concentrations. Mean blood lead is estimated to be 43% higher for men when the concentration of lead in first-draw…
