Contribution of trends in survival and coronar y-event rates to changes in coronary heart disease mortality: 10-year results from 37 WHO MONICA Project populations
TL;DR: Over the decade studied, the 37 populations in the WHO MONICA Project showed substantial contributions from changes in survival, but the major determinant of decline in CHD mortality is whatever drives changing coronary-event rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adding social deprivation and family history to cardiovascular risk assessment: the ASSIGN score from the Scottish Heart Health Extended Cohort (SHHEC)
TL;DR: Conventional cardiovascular scores fail to target social gradients in disease, so ASSIGN shifts preventive treatment towards the socially deprived by including unattributed risk from deprivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of the estimated prevalence of obesity from self reported height and weight in an adult Scottish population
TL;DR: This Scottish population was unique in the under-reporting of height as well as weight, which resulted in BMI estimates with low error, which suggest that self reported weights and heights would be satisfactory for the monitoring of obesity prevalence in Scotland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of coagulation factors, inhibitors and activation markers: the third glasgow monica survey i. illustrative reference ranges by age, sex and hormone use
Gordon D.O. Lowe,A. Rumley,Mark Woodward,Caroline Morrison,Helen Philippou,David A. Lane,Hugh Tunstall-Pedoe +6 more
TL;DR: Increased levels of factors VII, VIII and IX and decreased levels of protein C were associated with increased coagulation activation and hence increased thrombotic risk with age, especially in men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex Differences in Myocardial Infarction and Coronary Deaths in the Scottish MONICA Population of Glasgow 1985 to 1991 Presentation, Diagnosis, Treatment, and 28-Day Case Fatality of 3991 Events in Men and 1551 Events in Women
TL;DR: Differences in acute coronary events appear to be recognized and treated fairly equally in men and women 25 to 64 years old in Glasgow, so differences are small but subtle.
