BLOOD PRESSURE COMPONENTS AS PREDICTORS OF ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE MORTALITY IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND
The relative importance of systolic blood pressure (SBP) versus diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in predicting the risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) mortality is controversial. We have re-examined SBP compared to D BP and other combinations of SBP and D BP in predicting the risk of IHD mortality in a long-term cohort study oflO,541 men and women in the West of Scotland. During a mean fo...
متن کاملMortality from diabetes and ischaemic heart disease in textile workers.
BACKGROUND To explore explanations for elevated mortality from diabetes among male garment manufacturers and repairers in England and Wales during 1979-1990, analysis was extended by 10 years, looking also at other textile workers and at deaths from ischaemic heart disease (IHD). METHODS Data on some 3.5 million deaths were used to compute proportional mortality ratios (PMRs) for diabetes and...
متن کاملMortality from ischaemic heart disease--association with weather.
There is evidence to suggest that mortality from ischaemic heart disease is associated with social class, water hardness, rainfall, and temperature. In a comparison of 61 county boroughs, Gardner, Crawford, and Morris (1969) investigated the relationship between cardiovascular mortality and 80 environmental indices which they reduced to five principal components-social factor score, domestic ai...
متن کاملPre-existing ischaemic heart disease and ischaemic heart disease mortality in women compared with men.
BACKGROUND In all 8353 women and 7058 men aged 45-64 took part in the Renfrew/Paisley survey in 1972-1976. They formed a prospective cohort study of a general population in the West of Scotland; an area with high ischaemic heart disease (IHD) mortality rates. The objective of this study was to investigate three indicators of pre-existing IHD and determine how they predicted subsequent IHD morta...
متن کاملThe association between mortality from ischaemic heart disease and mortality from leading chronic diseases.
AIMS Coronary risk factors raise the risk of other chronic disorders. We therefore tested the hypothesis that the geographic distribution of ischaemic heart disease mortality is associated with that of other chronic diseases with which it shares risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS For the 50 provinces of Spain, we collected mortality data for the period 1980-1995 from the national vital statist...
