OP87 Healthy Behaviours in Middle Age and Long-Term Consequences for Mortality, Physical and Cognitive Function, and Mental Health
Background Physical activity, healthy body weight, smoking, and alcohol consumption are each related to mortality, physical and cognitive function, and mental health but their combined long-term effect is unknown. We examined the individual and combined influence of these risk factors on mortality and subjective and measured function in middle-aged adults followed for 18 years. Methods Data were from the US Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a bi…
P1-447 How long do patients in the UK get treated for non-specific respiratory symptoms by general practitioners before they are diagnosed with lung cancer
Introduction Most people with lung cancer in the UK are diagnosed late when curative treatment is no longer an option. This research aimed to determine the pattern of symptom reporting to GPs before lung cancer diagnosis to establish whether there is potential for developing a scoring system to allow cases to be diagnosed earlier. Methods We used data from The Health Improvement Network (THIN)—A computerised longitudinal primary care database. We…
Is an internal comparison better than using national data when estimating mortality in longitudinal studies
Background: Discrepancies between the results of different studies looking at mortality in similar disease cohorts led us to consider the impact of methodology upon outcome. Methods: Cohort studies were carried out using age, sex, practice, and calendar time matched control groups in the general practice research database. Data were used on all subjects with inflammatory bowel disease, coeliac disease, or Barrett’s oesophagus. Mortality data for …
Cold-related cardiac mortality in King County, Washington, USA 1980–2001
Cold temperatures may be an important triggering factor in bringing on the onset of life-threatening cardiac events, even in regions with relatively mild winters. Public health efforts stressing cold exposure while out of doors may play a prominent role in encouraging a reduction in cold stress, especially among seniors and those already at higher risk of cardiac death
