Understanding low colorectal cancer screening uptake in South Asian faith communities in England – a qualitative study
Efforts to increase accessibility to colorectal cancer screening in South Asian communities should use local language broadcasts on ethnic media and face-to-face approaches within community and faith settings to increase awareness of colorectal cancer and screening, and address challenges posed by written materials
Year trends in major coronary risk factors in older British men
the ''drift''. Our predictions are that stroke deaths are likely to continue to decrease up to at least 2015. For 2015, our predictions of deaths from stroke varied from 34 429 to 46 538 (compared with 47 213 deaths in 2005) under the different plausible model scenarios. We also noted that there were some potentially interesting trends in mortality amongst recent birth cohorts. In particular, mortality was higher in older age groups, but the diff…
Prediction scores to identify older adults at high risk for type 2 diabetes
The greatest relative increase in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) prevalence in developed countries thought likely to occur over the next 25 years will be in the over 65 age group. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of both simple strategies based on simple clinical parameters (suitable for use in primary care) and more complex scores involving blood markers to identify older individuals at high risk of developing T2DM. A
The management of diabetes in indigenous Australians from primary care
Although seeing the same doctors and receiving the same medications, glycaemic and smoking cessation targets remain unfulfilled in Indigenous patients. This cross-sectional study confirms Aboriginal ethnicity as a powerful risk factor for microvascular and macrovascular disease, which practitioners should use to identify candidates for intensive multifactorial intervention
