Coronary heart disease mortality rates have been decreasing in the United Kingdom since 1970s. Our study aimed to examine how much of decrease England and Wales between 1981 2000 could be attributed medical surgical treatments changes cardiovascular risk factors.The IMPACT model was used combine analyze data on uptake effectiveness cardiological factor trends Wales. The main sources were published trials meta-analyses, official statistics, clinical audits, national surveys. Between 2000,...
<h3>Abstract</h3> <b>Objective</b> To investigate whether population based primary prevention (risk factor reduction in apparently healthy people) might be more powerful than current government initiatives favouring risk patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) (secondary prevention). <b>Design, setting, and participants</b> The IMPACT model was used to synthesise data for England Wales describing CHD patient numbers, uptake of specific treatments, trends major cardiovascular factors, the...
SF-36 has been both translated into different languages and adapted to cultures obtain comparable data on health status internationally. However there have only a limited number of studies focused the discriminative ability regarding social disease in developing countries. The aim this study was population norms short form 36 (SF-36) survey association domains with demographic socioeconomic variables an urban Turkey. A cross-sectional study. Face face interviews were carried out sample...
Background Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is rising in middle income countries. Population based strategies to reduce specific CHD risk factors have an important role play reducing overall mortality. Reducing dietary salt consumption a potentially cost-effective way events. This paper presents economic evaluation of population reduction policies Tunisia, Syria, Palestine and Turkey. Methods Findings Three intake were evaluated: health promotion campaign, labelling food packaging mandatory...
Background: Knowledge about the population's iodine status is important, because it allows adjustment of supply and prevention deficiency. The validity comparability iodine-related population studies can be improved by standardization, which was one goals EUthyroid project. aim this study to establish first standardized map in Europe using urinary concentration (UIC) data. Materials Methods: We established a gold-standard laboratory Helsinki measuring UIC inductively coupled plasma mass...
It is unclear how much of the reduction in cardiac mortality coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with exercise training result direct effects on and vasculature, or to indirect effects, via primary risk factors. The aim this article was quantify benefits exercise-based rehabilitation attributable factor reductions versus vasculature. IMPACT model used examine changes factors from a meta-analysis randomized, controlled trials. Patients were receiving following an acute myocardial...
Coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality rates have been decreasing in Turkey since the early 1990s. Our study aimed to determine how much of CHD decrease between 1995 and 2008 could be attributed temporal trends major risk factors advances medical surgical treatments. The validated IMPACT model was used combine analyse data on uptake effectiveness treatments factor adults aged 35–84 years 2008. Data sources were identified, searched appraised population, for those years. Official statistics,...
We estimated life-years gained from cardiological treatments and cardiovascular risk factor changes in England Wales between 1981 2000.We used the IMPACT model to integrate data on number of coronary heart disease patients, treatment uptake effectiveness, trends, median survival patients.Compared with 1981, there were 68230 fewer deaths 2000. Approximately 925415 among people aged 25-84 years (range: 745 195-1 138 655). Cardiological for patients accounted approximately 194145...
Using a previously developed and validated mathematical model, we predicted future prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) major modifiable risk factors (obesity, physical inactivity smoking) stratified by age sex in Turkey up to the year 2050. Our deterministic compartmental model fitted nationally representative demographic factor data simultaneously for Turkish adults (aged 20-79) between 1997 2017, then estimated trends. novel approach explored impact obesity trends on these...
Abstract Aims: Diabetes is a global health concern, and early identification of high-risk individuals crucial for preventive interventions. Finnish Risk Score (FINDRISC) widely accepted non-invasive tool that estimates the 10-year diabetes risk. This study aims to validate FINDRISC in Turkish population develop specific model using data from nationwide cohort. Method: The used 12249 participants Türkiye Chronic Diseases Factors Survey. Data included sociodemographic variables, lifestyle...
The aim of this study was to describe rabies suspected animal bites and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) practices in Narlidere District Turkey between 1999 2001.One thousand five hundred sixty-nine bite cases reported were identified from the District's surveillance forms.Males comprised 66.7% cases, 43.5% total under 20 years old. In 74% involved a dog. Only 70% animals had an owner, only 17% vaccination certificate. terms treatment, 68% human received PEP, 21% extra (sixth) dose, which is...
Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) in the UK affects ∼3 million people, with >100 000 deaths annually. Mortality rates have halved since 1980s, but annual NHS treatment costs for CHD exceed £2 billion. Aim: To examine cost-effectiveness of specific treatments England and Wales. Methods: The IMPACT model was used to calculate number life-years gained (LYG) from cardiological interventions 2000 2010. Cost-effectiveness ratios (costs per LYG) were generated each intervention, stratified...
This study aimed to measure socioeconomic inequalities in Self Assessed Health (SAH) and evaluate the determinants of such terms their contributions amongst Turkish population. We used data from part World Survey 2003 with 10,287 respondents over 18 years old. Concentration index (CI) SAH was calculated as a health, each determinant inequality were evaluated using decomposition method. In total 952 participants (9.3%) rated health status either bad or very bad. The CI for −0.15, suggesting...
To determine the best anthropometric measurement among waist: height ratio (WHtR), BMI, waist:hip (WHR) and waist circumference (WC) associated with high CHD risk in adults to define optimal cut-off point for WHtR.Population-based cross-sectional study.Balcova, Izmir, Turkey.Individuals (n 10 878) who participated baseline survey of Heart Balcova Project. For each participant, 10-year coronary event (Framingham score) was calculated using data on age, sex, smoking status, blood pressure,...
The population is aging and the number of people over 55 (older consumers) increasing. Firms which recognize importance older consumer segment can use this demographic change to their advantage. However, market more heterogeneous than younger when it comes preferences, motives, spending patterns. Travel leisure services are no exception. This study reports result a large‐scale that examined responses travel patronage motives different age lifestyle groups. results suggest several marketing...
The aim of the study was to assess influence sociodemographic characteristics on breast and cervical cancer screening among women 30 years older in Turkey.

Overall, 22.0% ever had a Pap smear test for 19.0% mammography screening(n = 6846). Individuals with university degree, social security, doing...
İlk kez 2019 yılının Aralık ayında Çin'de görülen ve çok kısa sürede pandemiye dönüşen Covid-19, alınan güçlü önlemler sayesinde bulunduğumuz coğrafi konuma göre oldukça geç bir tarihte ülkemizde de ortaya çıkmıştır.
