Background
Demographic changes, increasing age and longer life expectancy mean that more people will live into their 70s and 80s.
Aims of this studyProvide valid estimates of the combined effects of major behavioural factors on risk of death within 10 years for men and women already in their 70s
Present the results using simple charts to communicate the importance of combinations of risk factors
Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health
1921-1926 cohort
Health, well-being and health service use
Surveyed every 3 years: 1996 – to at least 2015
National – over 40,000 participants
Funded by Australian Department of Health & Ageing
Health in Men StudyAged 65-83
Screened in 1996-1999 for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Followed up in 2001-2004 for HIMS study
Perth area only
Physical examination, biomarkers, questionnaire
Funded by NHMRC project grants

Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for each sex separately; logistic regression for death within 10 years
Absolute risk charts for death within 10 years; numbers in the cells are predicted risk (%) calculated from the logistic regression models.

Conclusions• Overall the risks of death were high, almost all
exceeding 10% for women and 20% for men • Risks were substantially higher for men than women• For both sexes risk was highest those who:
• were in the oldest age group •smoked •did not drink alcohol weekly or more•reported little physical activity
