We aimed to evaluate the life expectancy following the first cardiovascular disease (CVD) event by type 2 diabetes (T2D) status and ethnicity. Methods and results We used the Clinical Practice Research Datalink database in England (UK), linked to the Hospital Episode Statistics information, to ...
We first provide a nonparametric inference of the relationship between life expectancy and economic growth on an historical data for 18 countries over the period 1820-2005. The obtained shape shows up convexity for low enough values of life expectancy and concavity for large enough values. We then...
M2 – Discuss the Factors Likely to Influence Current and Future Patterns of Health in the Uk From looking at the graph above I can predicted that in the next 26 years the life expectancy is going to increase. The reason for this is because there will be better technology around. People ...
Life expectancy (LE) has usually been used as a metric to monitor population health. In the last few years, metrics such as Quality-Adjusted-Life-Expectancy (QALE) and Health-Adjusted-Life- Expectancy (HALE) have gained popularity in health research, given their capacity to capture health rela...
Starting with Iceland – the world leader for 19 years between 1941 and 1984 – it has an historical development that sets it apart from the other Nordic countries. 2Jim Oeppen made this point during the workshop that this volume is based on. He also noticed that life expectancy on the ...
