How much of the difference in life expectancy between Scottish cities does deprivation explain
Life expectancy is not systematically lower across the Glasgow population compared to Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh combined, once deprivation is accounted for. This provides further evidence that tackling deprivation in Glasgow would probably reduce the health inequalities that exist between Scottish cities. The change in the amount of unexplained difference when carrying out sensitivity analysis demonstrates the difficulties in comparing socio…
OP73 Exploring Impacts of Survey Non-Response using Record-Linkage of Scottish Health Survey Data (2003 to 2008)
Background Inference on population health is commonly derived from health survey data, based on the assumption that they are representative of the target communities. Departure from representativeness may weaken external validity leading to biased estimates, with important implications for public health evidence, particularly in relation to prevalence and quantity estimates such as population alcohol consumption. A key aspect determining the exte…
OP49 Socioeconomic Status and Late Adolescent Trajectories of Smoking, Drinking, and Psychiatric Distress
Background Problems with smoking, alcohol use and psychiatric distress usually develop in adolescence and often co-occur. These problems may be inter-related but their co-occurrence could result from a common cause such as socioeconomic disadvantage. Methods The Twenty–07 Study includes self-reported data on smoking, alcohol use and psychiatric symptoms (GHQ–12) from 1,515 adolescents at approximate ages of 15 (baseline), 16 and 18. Latent class …
OP76 Households and Health
Background There have been studies suggesting that various measures of health, health behaviours or health seeking cluster within households. Previous research on the impact of omitting small clusters from analyses have suggested little impact on parameter estimates or standard errors but have typically assumed small intraclass correlations – not usually the case for the household. Since there are typically few individuals per household, and many…
Adiposity has differing associations with coronary heart disease incidence and mortality in the Scottish Health Survey Cohort
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 …
Trends and inequalities in cardiovascular disease mortality in Scotland, 1974–2009
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Scotland, and mortality are among the highest in Western Europe. Coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke mortality has steadily declined since the early 1970s in Scotland, however socioeconomic inequalities remain. Further, CHD rates have been shown to plateau at younger ages in the early-mid 2000s. Objectives Examine trends and socioeconomic inequalities in age-specific CVD…
Are there gender differences in the relative predictive ability of lung function in all-cause mortality? Findings from 13 years of follow-up in the Scottish Health Survey-mortality linked datasets (19…
Objectives Lung function has been shown to be a long-term predictor of mortality from a range of causes in addition to respiratory disease. However, few studies have evaluated its predictive value relative to other risk factors, and the comparative contributions of alternative measures of lung function are unclear. Further, the majority of such studies have included men only, or – where available – data on women have tended to be combined with th…
