  • The Association of Dispositional Optimism and Pessimism With Cardiovascular Disease Events in Older Adults

    Open AccessHeather Craig, Joanne Ryan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2022References: 3

    Objective: Positive psychosocial factors may protect against cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aimed to determine the association of optimism and pessimism with CVD events in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: 11,651 adults aged 70 years and over, participants of the ASPREE Longitudinal Study of Older Persons (ALSOP), were followed-up for 4.7 years (median). The association of optimism and pessimism (assessed as separate constructs by revis…

  • Evaluating the impact of air pollution on the incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the Perth Metropolitan Region

    Lahn Straney, Judith Finn et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2014Cited by: 1References: 32

    BACKGROUND: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a major public health issue. Several studies have found that an increased level of ambient particulate matter (PM) smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) is associated with an increased risk of OHCA. We investigated the relationship between air pollution levels and the incidence of OHCA in Perth, Western Australia. METHODS: We linked St John Ambulance OHCA data of presumed cardiac aetiology with…

  • Absolute risk representation in cardiovascular disease prevention

    Open AccessSophie Hill, Janet D Spink et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    Consumers and GPs shared preferences for risk representation formats. Both groups liked the option to combine formats and tailor the risk information to reflect a specific individual's risk, to maximise understanding and provide a good basis for discussion

  • Inequalities in cardiovascular disease mortality

    Alison Beauchamp, Alexis Peeters et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2010Cited by: 4References: 33

    BACKGROUND: While the relationship between socio-economic disadvantage and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is well established, the role that traditional cardiovascular risk factors play in this association remains unclear. The authors examined the association between education attainment and CVD mortality and the extent to which behavioural, social and physiological factors explained this relationship. METHODS: Adults (n=38,355) aged 40-69 years li…
