Prevalence of ischaemic heart disease: the Caerphilly and Speedwell surveys.
Mortality from ischaemic heart disease remains high in the United Kingdom, and the present report describes the prevalence of the various epidemiological manifestations of the disease in two recent community studies with a common core protocol, each containing samples of over 2000 men, carried out in South Wales (Caerphilly) and the West of England (Speedwell, Bristol). The prevalence of electr...
متن کاملAssociation between Noise Annoyance and Incidence of Ischaemic Heart Disease in the Caerphilly and Speedwell Studies
In a cohort study, the association between annoyance and disturbances due to road traffic noise and the incidence of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) was studied in 3930 middle aged men. Dependent on the item used, non-significant odds ratios between 0.9 and 1.4 were found in highly noise annoyed/disturbed subjects as compared to less annoyed/disturbed during the 6y follow-up period. However, this...
متن کاملHaemostatic factors and ischaemic heart disease. The Caerphilly study.
In a preliminary report from the Caerphilly study four haemostatic factors showed univariate associations with prevalent ischaemic heart disease after adjusting for age. These factors were fibrinogen concentration, plasma viscosity, white cell count, and the heparin-thrombin clotting time. Age and these haemostatic variables were entered into a stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis; af...
متن کاملPlasma triglyceride and high density lipoprotein cholesterol as predictors of ischaemic heart disease in British men. The Caerphilly and Speedwell Collaborative Heart Disease Studies.
OBJECTIVE To assess the roles of plasma triglyceride and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentrations in predicting ischaemic heart disease. DESIGN Two prospective cohort studies with common core protocols. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Both cohorts are 100% samples of middle aged men. In Caerphilly the 2512 men were living within a defined area. In Speedwell the 2348 men were regis...
متن کاملTotal and differential leukocyte counts as predictors of ischemic heart disease: the Caerphilly and Speedwell studies.
A number of studies have shown total leukocyte count to be a risk factor for ischemic heart disease, but there is little information on the role of the individual types of leukocyte, and the role of smoking is controversial. The Caerphilly and Speedwell studies recruited 4,860 men aged 45-63 years between 1979 and 1983 in South Wales and the West of England, respectively. At the 10-year follow-...
