Statin use in groups at high risk of CVD (50-64 years, W1)

Statin use for secondary prevention (those with existing CVD) is lower than expected given the strength of evidence for the use of statins in this group

– known CVD 68.8% using statins– multiple CVD events 78.6% using statins

Project SADD: Socioeconomic position, anxiety, depression and diabetes in the ageing population

−Diabetes affects 8.3% of adults aged 50+ in Ireland, rising to 12% in those aged 75+

−primary level or no education are 60% more likely to have diagnosed diabetes

−Cross-sectionally, diabetes is not independently associated with depression or anxiety

−those with diagnosed diabetes at Wave 1 reported a Major Depressive Disorder (11.9% vs. 7.4%) or Generalized Anxiety Disorder (12.8% vs. 7.5%) after a two year follow-up
