First last week, it was reported that the Canada not as obese as in the United States. Researchers have now announced that the English less than Americans according to the American epidemiology of universal health care and better health spending journal. However, the two countries were from the same fabric cut, then why the big difference?
Comments of the Princeton University Melissa l. Martinson, Office of population research:
"A systematic evaluation of the material differences in health by age group and type of the condition provides framework necessary to learn why more former residents of England of less conditions suffer chronic health as the American."
By age group, comparisons, show that more substantive differences in the conditions of health and disease in an early age marker as large as that of obesity, low cholesterol HDL cholesterol high, high C - reactive protein, high blood pressure (for women), diabetes, asthma, heart attack or angina pectoris (for women) and stroke (for women).
In some postponement of the male heart attack or angina is higher in the United States only in recent years and high blood pressure is higher in England than in the United States at a young age. Differences between the two countries are statistically significant for any condition other than hypertension.
Although the majority of Americans Uninsured or insured from populations in England or other European countries, known as groups with good access to the health of ill health than in England.
The search continues:
"Why health is striking in these two countries to share the culture and history is an unsolved mystery." Light of our finding of differences in health between the United States and England at a young age, research a promising future, that will help could be to expose the causes of the problems of health over the life course, focuses on the differences between the countries of the first ages of health. »
The percentage of Canadian obese is less than their neighbours in the South, in the United States approximately 10%. Less than a quarter of adult Canadians (24.1%) are more than a third (34.4%) of American adults overweight, compared.
Last week the Centers for disease control (CDC) published a first of its kind detailed report compare, the two Nations, and the numbers are staggering. The researchers found that among Canadian men, 24.3% compared to 32.6% of the US population as obese, are considered.
The difference was even more common in women. 36.2% Of women in the were 04: 20 women between 2007 and 2009, United States compared to obese. The prevalence of obesity in men increased in the last two decades to about 10 percentage points to the Canada and 12 percentage points in the United States. Change percentage for women was eight and 10 or.
The United States have on an age-specific mortality for each age group (except for the 65 or more) English. Perhaps a role in the allocation of health resources. Despite the increased use of United States-health technology, Americans health care see English counterparts.
Acute hospital visits are what might be to follow up opportunities in the United States, also shorter. It is also possible that the substantive differences in the physical and social environment and lifestyle in the study role.
Ethnic Crucible, an interesting factor can be deconstructed. The colored population consists primarily of Hispanics and black, which statistically more likely than white Americans overweight and have a higher sodium and glucose are supply. It is known that obese leads to the risk of heart attack and complications in health care increases.
