  • PP60 Probable Airflow Obstruction in Adults

    Shaun Scholes, Alison Moody et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2013

    Background In the UK, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) causes approximately 25,000 deaths annually. Around three million people are estimated to have COPD, of whom fewer than one-third have been diagnosed. Using spirometry, fixed thresholds (FT) and lower limit of normal (LLN) criteria define airflow obstruction (AO) differently. FTs use cut-offs for lung function measurements regardless of age, sex, height and ethnicity; LLN criteria…

  • 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…

  • OP54 Exploring Socioeconomic Inequalities in Coronary Heart Disease Prevention

    Rushdiá Ahmed, Martin O’flaherty et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2013

    Background Between 2000 and 2007, coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality rates in England plummeted by one third. An important part of this substantial CHD mortality decline was achieved through reductions in major cardiovascular risk factors (primary prevention). However, the relative contributions from medications and from population-wide changes remains unclear, particularly the effects on health inequalities. Methods Using a previously valida…

  • Persistent socioeconomic inequalities in cardiovascular risk factors in England over 1994-2008

    Open AccessShaun Scholes, Madhavi Bajekal et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    Favourable trends in smoking, blood pressure and cholesterol are consistent with falling coronary heart disease death rates. However, adverse trends in obesity and diabetes are likely to counteract some of these gains. Furthermore, little progress over the last 15 years has been made towards reducing inequalities. Implementation of known effective population based approaches in combination with interventions targeted at individuals/subgroups with…

  • Explaining recent coronary heart disease mortality trends in England by socioeconomic circumstances, 2000–2007

    M Bajekal, Shaun Scholes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Background The continuing fall in coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality is widely celebrated. However, the impact of public policies and treatments on socio-economic gradients in health is poorly quantified. Understanding the separate contributions of prevention and treatment to recent trends is thus crucial to planning the most effective and equitable future strategies. Methods Using a previously validated epidemiological model, we estimated th…

  • O1-4.1 Explaining recent coronary heart disease mortality trends in England by socioeconomic circumstances, 2000–2007

    Madhavi Bajekal, Shaun Scholes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Introduction The continuing fall in coronary heart disease mortality rates is widely celebrated. However, the impact of public policies and treatments is poorly quantified and hardly ever by socioeconomic group. Methods Using a previously validated epidemiological model we estimated the contribution of risk factor changes and evidence-based treatments to reduce CHD mortality in adults aged over 25 years between 2000 and 2007 in England, both over…

  • Reducing socioeconomic inequality in coronary disease treatments

    NM Hawkins, Nathaniel M Hawkins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Background Health inequalities are evident across the United Kingdom, exemplified by large and persistent social gradients in premature cardiovascular mortality. Four simple medical therapies improve survival in patients with coronary heart disease: antiplatelet agents including aspirin, β-blockers, statins, and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB). But are the founding National Health Service (NH…
