Projections of future burden of pharmacologically treated type 2 diabetes and associated life expectancies by income in Finland
The burden of type 2 diabetes (T2D) differs between socioeconomic groups. The present study combines ongoing and plausible trends in T2D incidence and survival by income to forecast future trends in cases of T2D and life expectancy with and without T2D up to year 2040. Using Finnish total population data for those aged 30 years on T2D medication and mortality in 1995–2018, we developed and validated a multi-state life table model using age-, gend…
Coronary heart disease mortality is decreasing in Argentina, and Colombia, but keeps increasing in Mexico
Latin American countries are at different stages of the cardiovascular disease epidemic. Garbage code correction produce large changes in the mortality rates in Argentina, yet smaller in Mexico and Colombia, suggesting garbage code corrections may be needed for specific countries. While coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality is falling in Argentina, modest falls in Colombia and substantial increases in Mexico highlight the need for the region to …
Evaluating effects of recent changes in NHS resource allocation policy on inequalities in amenable mortality in England, 2007–2014
BACKGROUND: Health investment in England post-2010 has increased at lower rates than previously, with proportionally less being allocated to deprived areas. This study seeks to explore the impact of this on inequalities in amenable mortality between local areas. METHODS: We undertook a time-series analysis across 324 lower-tier local authorities in England, evaluating the impact of changes in funding allocations to health commissioners from 2007 …
Effects of reducing processed culinary ingredients and ultra-processed foods in the Brazilian diet
Objective To estimate the impact of reducing saturated fat, trans -fat, salt and added sugar from processed culinary ingredients and ultra-processed foods in the Brazilian diet on preventing cardiovascular deaths by 2030. Design A modelling study. Setting Data were obtained from the Brazilian Household Budget Survey 2008/2009. All food items purchased were categorized into food groups according to the NOVA classification. We estimated the energy …
Implications of Brexit on the effectiveness of the UK soft drinks industry levy upon CHD in England
Objective An industry levy on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) was implemented in the UK in 2018. One year later, Brexit is likely to change the UK trade regime with potential implications for sugar price. We modelled the effect of potential changes in sugar price due to Brexit on SSB levy impacts upon CHD mortality and inequalities. Design We modelled a baseline SSB levy scenario; an SSB levy under ‘soft’ Brexit, where the UK establishes a free t…
Estimating the potential contribution of stroke treatments and preventative policies to reduce the stroke and ischemic heart disease mortality in Turkey up to 2032
Our modeling study suggests that effective and evidence-based food policies at the population level could massively contribute to reduction in ischemic stroke and IHD mortality in a decade and deliver bigger gains compared to healthcare based interventions for primary and secondary prevention
Are interventions to promote healthy eating equally effective for all? Systematic review of socioeconomic inequalities in impact
Interventions categorised by a "6 Ps" framework show differential effects on healthy eating outcomes by SEP. "Upstream" interventions categorised as "Price" appeared to decrease inequalities, and "downstream" "Person" interventions, especially dietary counselling seemed to increase inequalities. However the vast majority of studies identified did not explore differential effects by SEP. Interventions aimed at improving population health should be…
PP09 Assessing the Potential Effect of Healthy Eating Policy Interventions on Socioeconomic Inequalities
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the main contributors to health inequalities. CVD primary prevention includes potentially powerful interventions to promote healthy eating. However, might some dietary interventions actually widen the heath gap between rich and poor, thus leading to intervention-generated inequalities? Objective To systematically review the evidence for differential socio-economic effects associated with healthy e…
OP15 Identifying the most effective public health nutrition policies
Background EuroHeart 2 is a European research programme led by the European Heart Network and European Society of Cardiology ( http://www.ehnheart.org/euroheart-ii.html ). One aspect of the project aimed to identify the most effective public health nutrition policies, in order to inform future evidence-based strategies to promote cardiovascular health. We interviewed senior policy-makers and thought-leaders in 14 diverse EU countries to elicit th…
PPO1 Predicting Future Coronary Heart Disease Mortality trends in England and Wales in 2020
Background Although Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) death rates have halved since the 1970s, CHD remains a major cause of mortality in the UK. Furthermore, population ageing plus recent increases in obesity and diabetes may soon increase total CHD deaths. Future CHD mortality predictions are thus potentially problematic. Our aim was therefore to explore future projections of CHD mortality in England & Wales under conventional but contrasting assumpt…
OP56 Modelling Future Coronary Heart Disease Mortality to 2030 in the British Isles
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…
OP55 How Many Coronary Heart Disease Deaths in Poland in 2020 might be Prevented by Further Reductions in Population Risk Factor Levels
Background Poland has experienced one of the most dramatic declines in coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality rates in recent decades. This decline reflects the use of evidence based treatments and, crucially, population wide changes in diet. Our aim is to explore the potential for further gains in Poland by achieving population wide reductions in smoking, dietary salt and saturated fat intake and physical inactivity levels. Methods A validated a…
OP16 Utilising a Novel Framework to Assess Public Health Nutrition Actions Across 30 European Countries (EuroHeart II Project)
Background EuroHeart II is a European programme designed to inform cardiovascular health strategies across Europe. Our project examines the role of food policies in cardiovascular disease prevention, including the development and piloting of a novel conceptual framework for categorising public health nutrition policies. Methods We conducted a mapping exercise to identify and categorise public health nutrition policy actions across 30 European cou…
OP13 An Economic Evaluation of Salt Reduction Policies to Reduce Cardiovascular Disease in England
Background Dietary salt intake has been causally linked to high blood pressure and increased risk of cardiovascular events. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes approximately 35% of total UK deaths, at an estimated annual cost of £30 billion with £14.4 billion spent on treating CVD per year. WHO and NICE have both strongly recommended dietary salt reduction. However, to implement more effective policies in future, UK policy makers will need robust…
