Can Age or Height Define Appropriate Thresholds for Transition to Adult Seat Belts? An Analysis of Observed Seat Belt Fit in Children Aged 7–12 Years
This study aimed to investigate associations between demographic, anthropometric and vehicle factors and the fit of adult seat belts in children aged 7-12 years in passenger vehicles. Seat belt fit was assessed by inspection of 7-12-year-old children in their own cars. Logistic regressions examined associations between anthropometric and vehicle factors on achieving good seat belt fit. There were 40 participants included in the analysis, with 16 …
A Process Evaluation Protocol for Examining the Impact of Instructions for Correct Use of Child Car Seats Designed through a Consumer-Driven Process and Evaluated in a Field-Based Randomised Controlle…
The incorrect use of child car seats is common, with significant negative effects on crash protection for child passengers. There is currently little evidence for effective, practical countermeasures for incorrect use. The provision of clear and comprehensible materials on correct use supplied with restraints at the point of sale could be highly cost-effective and achieve similar benefits to restraint-fitting services or hands-on training; howeve…
Socioeconomic inequality in morbid obesity with body mass index more than 40 kg/m2 in the United States and England
Morbid obesity is associated with lower socioeconomic status in men and women in the UK. In the US, morbid obesity was twice as prevalent, but less strongly associated with socioeconomic status, suggesting that morbid obesity may now have spread to all but the highest socioeconomic groups
Fildes et al. Respond
We are grateful to Hunger and Tomiyama for their interest in our recent article. We agree with their assertion that excessive focus on body weight may sometimes lead to negative psychological and behavioral outcomes for some obese individuals. We also agree that physical fitness is an important measure that is associated with long-term health outcomes. We disagree with the view that obesity should not be regarded as a focus for public health conc…
Probability of an Obese Person Attaining Normal Body Weight: Cohort Study Using Electronic Health Records
Objectives. We examined the probability of an obese person attaining normal body weight. Methods. We drew a sample of individuals aged 20 years and older from the United Kingdom’s Clinical Practice Research Datalink from 2004 to 2014. We analyzed data for 76 704 obese men and 99 791 obese women. We excluded participants who received bariatric surgery. We estimated the probability of attaining normal weight or 5% reduction in body weight. Results.…
PP36 Use of Electronic Health Records to Implement a Cluster Randomised Trial in Primary Care
Background Electronic health records (EHRs) represent a potentially valuable resource for evaluating health interventions. This research aimed to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a cluster randomised trial in a primary care database. The trial intervention aimed to reduce antibiotic prescribing in respiratory tract infections (RTIs). Methods The trial was implemented using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). All CPRD general p…
PS28 Impact of Number and Type of Comorbidity on Depression Prevalence and Health Care Costs. Population-Based Cohort Study
Background The degree to which the number of comorbidities and the presence of depression impact health care use and costs has been unexplored employing actual resource use data representing a general population. We aimed to evaluate the impact of number and type of comorbidities on depression prevalence, health care utilisation and health care costs. Methods Cohort study and included in the study were 300,020 participants aged 30 years of age re…
