  • A Profile of the Health & Well-Being of Glasgow
    A Profile of the Health & Well-being of Glasgow Glasgow’s Healthier Future Forum 30th November 2005 Preface This document has been created as an accompaniment to a presentation at the 2nd Glasgow’s Healthier Future Forum (organised by the Glasgow Centre for Population Health (GCPH)) on November 30th, 2005. The data will be presented by David Walsh and Bruce Whyte of NHS Health Scotland as part of an ongoing collaboration with GCPH. The presentation - and accompanying report - incorporates a small subset of a much broader collection of data which will be published in early 2006 as part of a descriptive report on the health and well-being of Glasgow and the West of Scotland. The data included within these pages, therefore, are not intended to be - and indeed could not be - comprehensive. They are merely illustrative examples of Glasgow’s health. The theme of the presentation is an analysis of those health and well-being related factors in Glasgow which are improving, those which are worsening, and those which are proving resistant to change. Within that theme, the data are presented within the following ten topics relevant to health: the historical context, population dynamics, the economy, the social environment, the physical environment, behaviour, pregnancy & childbirth, children’s health, health & function, and illness & disease. An additional handful of charts showing projections for a few key health related indicators are also included. Note: a number of the charts presented here are derived from analysis of the 2004 Community Health & Well-being Profiles produced by NHS Health Scotland. In these cases the data are presented at two geographical levels: ‘community’ (primary care-based localities with populations ranging from 20,000-140,000 people) and postcode sector (small areas with populations of around 3,000-5,000 on average).

  • Glasgow Effect
    Excess mortality in the Glasgow conurbation: exploring the existence of a Glasgow effect James Martin Reid MSci Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of PhD University of Glasgow Faculty of Medicine, Section of Public Health and Health Policy September 2008 ii Abstract Introduction There exists a ‘Scottish effect’, a residue of excess mortality that remains for Scotland relative to England and Wales after standardising for age, sex and local area deprivation status. This residue is largest for the most deprived segments of the Scottish population. Most Scottish areas that can be classified as deprived are located in West Central Scotland and, in particular, the City of Glasgow. Therefore the central aim of this thesis is to establish the existence of a similar ‘Glasgow effect’ and identify if the relationship between deprivation and all cause mortality is different in Glasgow to what is in other, comparable cities in the UK. Methods A method to compare the deprivation status of several UK cities was devised using the deprivation score first calculated by Carstairs and Morris. The population of mainland UK was broken into deciles according to the Carstairs score of Scottish postcode sectors and English wards. Deprivation profiles for particular cities were drawn according to the percentage of the local population that lived in each Carstairs decile. Using data from the three censuses since 1981, longitudinal trends in relative deprivation status for each city could be observed. Analysis of death rates in cities was also undertaken. Two methods were used to compare death rates in cities. Indirect standardisation was used to compare death rates adjusting for the categorical variables of age group, sex and Carstairs decile of postcode sector or ward of residence.

  • St Paul's Milngavie Life Magazine
    St Paul’s Milngavie Life Magazine April 2013 Dear Friends, I don’t know if you have ever found something surprising on your doorstep? The day before Palm Sunday I opened the front door to find a box of 92 ‘Huggies’ which as you probably know are baby’s nappies. There was no note to explain who had left them there or why so as you can imagine there was some anxious thought in the Manse as we tried to work it all out. It was on the Monday of Holy Week that all was revealed. A gentleman from another congregation approached me before the service and confessed that he was the leaver of the nappies. He knew about my connection with the Preshal Trust and thought I might be able to find someone who could put them to good use. If only he had left a note in the first place! But in a sense it was appropriate to have an experience like that at Easter. That was a time when explanations were needed for strange events. The friends of Jesus had seen him tortured to death. They went to His tomb the third day after this to find the stone at the entrance rolled away and the body gone. They were completely baffled but soon there was an explanation. An messenger from God was on hand to explain that Jesus had risen from the dead and very soon they would see him. This was the best news they could ever have at the time but it is the best news that has ever been received in the history of humankind.
