  3. 2006 focus:Cardiovascular disease • CVD:ever had angina, heart attack, stroke, heart murmur, or irregular heart rhythm, confirmed by a doctor • Ischaemic heart disease(IHD):angina or a heart attack confirmed by a doctor • Rose Angina questionnaire identifies those who had symptoms of angina, or possible myocardial infarction (heart attack)

  4. Cardiovascular disease • A leading contributor to the global disease burden • Main cause of death in England - but rates falling In 2006 • 13.6% of men, 13.0% of women diagnosed with CVD • Prevalence increases with age • IHD or stroke more common in men than women (8.1% and 5.6%)

  5. Prevalence of any CVD, IHD or stroke Age 35 and over

  6. Prevalence of heart attack: doctor diagnosis and the Rose Angina questionnaire

  7. Prevalence of overweight and obesity

  8. Physical activity levels

  9. Girls aged 11-15: physical activity by parental activity

  10. Trends in prevalence of strokes, 1994-2006

  11. Trends in child overweight and obesity, 1995-2006 (moving averages)

  12. Trends in smoking prevalence 1993-2006(moving averages)

  13. Cigarette smoking prevalence by equivalised household income 2006 (age standardised)

  14. Drinking on five or more days last week(age standardised)

  15. Eat five or more portions of fruit and vegetables per day(age standardised) Age 16+

  16. Eat five or more portions of fruit and vegetables per dayAge 5-15

  17. HSE 2007 • Sample around 7500 adults, and child boost sample • Focus on: • knowledge and attitudes (adults and children aged 11+) • children’s health and lifestyles (obesity) • monitoring the effect of smoke free legislation • …reporting end of 2008

  18. Knowledge and attitudes • Important to understand knowledge and attitudes about • Healthy eating • Physical activity • Drinking • Smoking • Link behaviour and health to knowledge and attitudes • Link parental and child knowledge and attitudes • …Help to target health messages effectively

  19. HSE 2008 • Sample around 16,000 adults, and child boost sample • Focus on physical activity: • Questions on activities, sport and exercise in the last 4 weeks • Objective measure of activity • Nurse visit includes objective measure of fitness • …reporting end of 2009

  20. The actigraph • Objective measure of physical activity • Physical activity monitor worn on a belt • Like a pedometer • Respondents wear it for 7 days

  21. The step test:objective measure of fitness • Indicator of health risk independent of obesity • Measure of functional aerobic work capacity (Vo2max) • Stepping exercise to a set rhythm, getting faster • Heart rate recorded while stepping and afterwards

  22. An area of exploration: Demi-span • For older adults, height can be a difficult measurement • How accurate is the formula linking demi-span and ‘true’ height? • Is the relationship the same among younger adults and 65+? • How accurately can older adults’ recall their height when they were aged 25 – ‘peak height’?
