for England; UK, United Kingdom.a See references 8, 10, and 11 for further information about HSE data.b HSE estimates were weighted for nonresponse bias.c HSE 2006 data were used for cardiovascular disease, ischemic heart disease, stroke, angina, myocardial infarction, and abnormal heart rhythm (n = 1,123, n = 1,015, n = 1,141, and n = 1,050, respectively). HSE 2009 estimates were used for hypertension (n = 274, n = 244, n = 280, and n = 253, respectively) and diabetes (n = 391, n = 345, n = 398, and n = 358, respectively). HSE 2010 estimates were used for asthma (n = 720, n = 608, n = 730, and n = 630, respectively) and COPD (n = 720, n = 608, n = 730, and n = 631, respectively). Both 2009 and 2010 estimates (n = 1,112, n = 1,128, n = 953, and n = 989, respectively) were used for chronic kidney disease.d Cardiovascular disease included angina, heart attack, stroke, heart murmur, and irregular heart rhythm.e Ischemic heart disease included heart attack or angina.f HSE estimates were available only to the nearest integer.
