  • OP56 Modelling Future Coronary Heart Disease Mortality to 2030 in the British Isles

    John Hughes, Zubair Kabir et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2013

    Background Despite rapidly declining coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality rates over the last two decades, CHD mortality rates in the British Isles are still amongst the highest in Europe. Greater risk factor reductions have been achieved in many other countries in Europe and beyond. This study aimed to use a modelling approach to assess the potential impact of alternative future risk factor scenarios relating to smoking and physical activity l…

  • OP53 Explaining Scottish Coronary Heart Disease Mortality Trends between 2000 and 2010

    J W Hotchkiss, Ruth Dundas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2013

    Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality rates have halved in recent decades. However, CHD remains the largest cause of death in Scotland generating persistent socioeconomic inequalities. A socioeconomic quantification of the prevention and treatment contributions to these mortality reductions might help inform future health policies. Methods IMPACTsec, a previously validated policy model, was used to apportion the Scottish CHD mortality…

  • Adiposity has differing associations with coronary heart disease incidence and mortality in the Scottish Health Survey Cohort

    J W Hotchkiss, JW* Hotchkiss et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major contributor to mortality in the developed world. Investigations involving recent nationally representative surveys, including the Scottish Health Survey Cohort (SHeSC), have not demonstrated the expected strong U or J shaped association between adiposity and mortality. Given modern treatment and primary/secondary prevention strategies, we question whether adiposity has the same relationship with …

  • Socio-economic patterning of the trends in cardiovascular disease risk factors in Scotland

    J W Hotchkiss, C A Davies et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2010

    Background In Scotland, as in other countries, cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality has substantially declined over time. However, this decline may be slowing among younger groups and there are still large inequalities in mortality between socio-economic groups. Objectives To examine secular changes in the prevalence of known CVD risk factors in the Scottish population according to socio-economic position. Design Representative data on health a…

  • Association of body mass index, waist circumference and waist-hip ratio with mortality in the Scottish Health Surveys

    J W Hotchkiss, Alastair H LeylandARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2009

    Objective: To compare magnitudes of association of BMI and measures of regional adiposity with coronary heart disease, diabetes and all-cause mortality. Design: 2 prospective cohort and 2 cross sectional studies. Participants: Members of 4 UK cohorts aged >45 years: 3937 women from the British Women's Heart and Health Study (BWHHS), 2367 and 1950 men from phases 1 and 3 of the Caerphilly Prospective Study (CaPS), 403 men and women from Boyd Orr, …
