Gains in life expectancy have faltered several high-income countries recent years. Scotland has consistently had a lower than many other over the past 70 We aim to compare trends those seen internationally and assess timing importance of any changes mortality for Scotland.Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, England Wales, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Poland, Scotland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden,...
Annual gains in life expectancy Scotland were slower recent years than the previous two decades. This analysis investigates how deaths different age groups and from causes have contributed to annual average change across time periods: 2000-2002 2012-2014 2015-2017.
Within the UK, there has been debate on whether life expectancy is increasing or decreasing in particular single 3-year periods, but less thinking overall trends have changed. This paper considers extent to which for UK and its nations changed before after 2011.We used Office National Statistics period data nations. We Lee's approach project based repeated sampling of year-to-year change baseline periods (1990-2011 1980-2011) applied that 2012 onwards.Improvements were substantially...
The extent to which the poor health profile of Glasgow, city with highest mortality rates in UK, can be explained solely by socio-economic factors is unclear. This paper additionally considers behavioural and biological as explanations excess risk.Scottish Health Survey data for 2008-09 were analysed using logistic regression models compare odds physical mental outcomes, well adverse behaviours, residents Greater Glasgow Clyde (GGC) conurbation compared rest Scotland.After adjustment age...

To examine whether epilepsy-related deaths increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and if proportion with listed as underlying cause is different between people experiencing those unrelated to epilepsy.

BackgroundAnnual gains in life expectancy Scotland were slower recent years than the previous two decades. This analysis investigates how deaths different age groups and from causes have contributed to annual average change across time periods: 2000-02 2012-14 2015-17. MethodsLife at birth was calculated death population counts, disaggregated by five-year age-group underlying cause of death. Arriaga’s method decomposition applied produce estimates contribution age-groups changes for...
Abstract We compare the impact of first two waves COVID-19 pandemic on risk age-standardized mortality by sex, UK country, and English region. Each wave is defined as lasting 26 weeks are consecutive beginning in 2020 week 11. The expected rate estimated from 2015 to 2019 mean projected trend same period used estimate excess mortality. By both measures, was highest lowest regions England, London South-West, respectively. Excess consistently higher for males than females.
<h3>Background</h3> Annual gains in life expectancy Scotland have been slower recent years than the previous two decades for males and females. Similar slowdowns or even reversals observed England, Wales, Northern Ireland USA. This contribution explores of specific causes death to changes mortality by age cause time periods: 2000–02 2012–14 2015–17. <h3>Methods</h3> Life at birth was calculated from population counts available National Records (NRS), disaggregated five year categories ICD-10...
