Patients with high risk of stroke and heart attack 'ignoring ... Daily Mail, UK - Sep 1, 2008 By Jenny Hope Britons at high risk of heart attack and stroke are ignoring doctors' advice to change their lifestyle, says a new survey. ...

Patients with high risk of stroke and heart attack 'ignoring ... - Daily Mail More than three-quarters are obese or overweight, with dangerously big stomachs, and most smokers have refused to give up. More than half have out-of-control blood pressure and 40 per cent have high cholesterol levels. Two out of three refuse to accept they are more at risk than other people their age - despite being given warnings and prescription drugs by their GP. The findings from a major European survey were released today at the European Society for Cardiology congress in Munich. Around one in three middle-aged Britons is at high risk of heart disease because of factors such as obesity, diabetes, family history, high cholesterol and blood pressure levels. This means they have a one in five chance of suffering a fatal heart attack unless they change their lifestyle. The new survey of 12 countries looked in detail at 381 patients in the UK, who had been diagnosed as 'high risk' at least six months earlier by their GPs. In many cases they were taking medication as a result. Almost 80 per cent of those who were smokers at the time had not given up despite smoking being a major cause of heart disease. Altogether 82 per cent of high risk patients were overweight or obese - half of whom were so fat it threatens their health. Four out of five had a dangerously large waist circumference, indicating deposits of abdominal fat that raise the chances of diabetes and heart problems. The EUROASPIRE survey showed about two out of five patients said they did not take regular exercise and had no plans to do so. Around half had diabetes, including seven per cent whose condition was detected when they were taking part in the survey and having various tests. In total, 57 per cent of patients had raised blood pressure despite three-quarters of them being on antihypertensive drugs. At least 40 per cent of patients had high blood cholesterol, even though the UK uses more statin drugs – which reduce cholesterol - than any other European country except Italy. Three out of four of those agreed, when they were asked whether everyone should know of their heart disease risk, compared with just 21 per cent in Bulgaria. But there was an alarming level of ignorance among British patients about their state of health. Altogether two-thirds said they did not think their risk of heart disease was higher than a person in the general population of the same age and sex, including 16 per cent who thought it was lower. Just 33 per cent believed it was higher - as their doctors had told them. Professor David Wood, an expert in cardiovascular medicine at the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College, London, said the survey raised concerns that many Britons were in denial about their heart health. He said 'These figures are quite shocking. They should be managed much more rigorously and their lifestyle should be changing. He said European research showed that nurse-led programmes in GP surgeries were the best way to help high-risk heart patients change their lifestyle - and that of their partners. Four out of five families ate more fruit and vegetables when nurses got involved, and the number doing physical activity doubled, he said. The survey used trained technicians to question 381 patients who had been told they were at high risk of heart disease before developing any symptoms. They were prescribed drugs or being treated with dietary advice. The fact that so few smokers had quit goes against the national trend, with more people giving up since the ban on smoking in public. However, many of these patients in their 40s, 50s and 60s will have been smokers for decades.

A new chapter for flit-litters - Times Online And now, somewhat to our surprise, we had done it . We hadbought a house, taken French lessons, said our goodbyes, shipped over ourdogs and become foreigners.”It all happened because of a property. Mayle, a professional adman, and hiswife, Jennie, “saw it one afternoon and had mentally moved in by dinner”. Itdidn’t just mark the beginning of their new life in the Provençal hills – italso kick-started the British invasion of France and a whole new literarygenre: flit lit. IsabellaDusi went off to Montalcino, a medieval hilltop village in Tuscany, for hertwo-book deal, as did the American author Frances Mayes, whose Under theTuscan Sun was taken up by Hollywood and made into a film in 2003. ChrisStewart decamped to Andalusia, Anna Nicholas went from Mayfair to Mallorca(A Lizard in My Luggage) and Alex Browning went Shooting Caterpillars inSpain. Such escapism was perfect poolside reading and sucked in commuterswho fantasised about leaving behind the daily grind.A Year in Provence became an international sensation after serialisation inThe Sunday Times. It was translated into 17 languages and went on to sellmore than 1.5m copies – not bad considering it had an initial print run of3,000.So, what will it cost to follow in Mayle’s footsteps now? Head down to thesun-baked terraces and lavender fields of Provence and you’ll be lucky topick up a ruined farmhouse with some land. But almost everything has beenrenovated. Today, you have to pick something that was renovated, say, 20 or30 years ago, and redo it.”Prices for a 300-square-metre property, says Janssens, range from £1.2m up to£2.5m. He is selling a renovated 18th-century mas near Goult with a view ofthe Vaucluse mountains. The fourbed house with pool, staff flat and largegardens is for sale for £2m (020 8576 5582, www.winkworth.co.uk). Janssens picks the Drôme Provençal, known for its olive trees, where valuesare 30% less than southern Provence, as the next destination on the Mayletrail. A milder climate may costyou 20% more, but then you can grow lemons, avocados and olives.”Finding wrecks to do up in central Italy is altogether more difficult. After10 years in Italy, she went to Morocco and Algeria, where she ended up on adate farm in an oasis, and the resulting book, A Handful of Honey, has justbeen published.The shelves may be groaning with flit lit, but there are a few gaps. There’syet to be A Year in Bulgaria or Downhill in Dubai: Skiing in the Desert.Also, the literary output from North America, the third most populardestination for Britons, has yet to take off. Perhaps the commonlanguage doesn’t allow for comic misunderstanding; then there’s the lack ofold stone houses to do up. Or perhaps, dare I say it, Florida doesn’t appealto the budding man of letters.Rural France, it seems, still exerts the greatest pull. Among the latesttitles is The Field by the River by Ken Burnett, which combines an interestin natural history with the “let’s move to France” genre, recording thewildlife in the field adjoining his 350-year-old house in Brit-tany. Andthis week sees the publication of Chateau Monty: A Corking Wine Adventure byMonty Waldin, the enfant terrible of the organic wine world. Needless tosay, at the start of his new career abroad, he is hurtling towards 40. He now lives in a 1930s semi in Tuscany with an allotmentand a garage-cum-office built of straw bales. I’m sureMayle will raise a glass of vino.Flit lit: the rules1. Buy a property – it can be a maison-de-maître, chateau, cortijoor finca, whatever you like or the locals call it, but it must be awreck2. Choose a location or business proposal that hasn’t yet been written about:a brothel in Bulgaria? Make one stunningly rude and hilarious faux pas4. A team of workers must down tools in a Mediterranean-style huff, leavingyou stranded. You will then be saved by a local hero with a ruddy face androbust language who will initiate you into the secrets of village life5. Take up a hobby: boules, cooking, flamenco or truffle-hunting. Never suggest it is lonely or that you miss anything more than marmaladeand baked beans. The holiday spirit must reign supreme, but be rude aboutEnglish tourists who dream of moving abroad7.

Return of the great British holiday puts Spain and Greece in the shade - guardian.co.uk Photograph: Cate Gillon/Getty ImagesThe British seaside is proving a popular holiday destination this year, with a weak pound and stretched finances forcing more people to stay in Britain. But many people are still escaping the wet and windy British summer to sunnier climes - outside the increasingly expensive eurozone.The strength of the euro is putting many holidaymakers off traditional European destinations such as Spain and Greece. The pound is now worth €1.27, 20% less than a year ago. Turkey and Egypt have become the new hot spots, seeing the biggest rises in bookings this year. Croatia, Bulgaria and Tunisia are also popular. Outside the eurozone, Bulgaria has emerged as the cheapest European destination.For late summer bookings, Turkey - in particular the Dalaman area which offers sea and mountains - has come out top, according to new figures compiled by Co-operative Travel for The Guardian. The Co-op's Trevor Davis described this as "a seismic shift in holiday bookings, as Spain has been the UK's number one choice since the package holiday began". The number of Britons visiting Turkey this year has jumped by a fifth to 1.7 million, according to the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA). Egypt has seen an even bigger increase of 28%, attracting 600,000 holidaymakers. By contrast, Spain and Greece are showing flat growth - though Spain remains by far the biggest destination, with 14 million Britons going there every year. Greece attracts 2.5 million holidaymakers from Britain.Thomas Cook has seen its summer bookings to Turkey and Egypt increase by 15% from last year. A family of four will pay £1,516 for a week in a self catering apartment in Dalaman with Thomson (owned by TUI) - or £2,141 for the same deal at Alykanas village apartments in Zante, Greece. The British seaside is seeing record numbers of bookings: Brighton is up 70%, Bournemouth 20% and Eastbourne 66%."The Brits are taking another look at holidaying at home because of the economic climate," said Sian Brenchley at Visit Britain. Customers are booking more add-ons with their hotels - theme parks, theatre and music tickets. The trend has continued despite the rather poor summer we've had this year."Asda reported this week that its stores in seaside towns, were trading "phenomenally well".More people are cutting the length of their summer holidays abroad to enjoy several breaks at home. Since the mergers of travel groups TUI and First Choice and Thomas Cook and MyTravel, last year, they have cut the number of low-cost late deals to western Mediterranean resorts such as mainland Spain and the Balearics. The surge to the turquoise coast may continue. Searches on Teletext Holidays between June and August for holidays to Turkey soared by 72% compared with last year. Ash Makkar, marketing director, said: "The credit crunch has affected our customers' priorities in terms of booking a summer break, as they now demand greater value than ever before.

We have never had a situation where costs have been rising and demand is falling and that is the situation which we face this autumn and winter. Customers are obviously worried about their own income, the credit crunch is clearly there. I expect there will be fewer people looking to buy flights in the next six months.' Monarch Airlines boss, Tim Jeans, told the programme that customers can expect more flights to be grounded in the coming months. The company have already axed the route to Granada in Spain.

NOW WE'VE GOT DENTISTS IN TENTS - UK Express They will be offering their services at a third of the cost of treatment available to patients in the UK, where well over a million people now have no access to an NHS dentist because of health reforms introduced by Labour. To heap added ridicule on the failing National Health Service, the tents will be equipped with state-of-the-art X-ray equipment not available in this country. In a move that will severely embarrass the Government, the Hungarian travelling circus will offer an initial consultation and information on the cost of treatment in eastern Europe. The Government should hang their heads in shameTaxPayers� Alliance Patients will be able to choose from a range of procedures including implants, dentures, crowns, bridges, veneers, fillings and tooth whitening. It is estimated that up to 40,000 Britons a year already go abroad for dental treatment, and the Conservatives said this latest move made a mockery of Labour�s policy. Shadow Health Minister Mike Penning said: �This is a reflection of the Government�s failed dental contract, which has curtailed access to NHS dentists for well over one million people. The Government should hang their heads in shame.� The scheme starts in Lincoln tomorrow before taking in Glasgow, London, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and Stockport. The Department of Health�s chief dental officer Barry Cockcroft said: �We are investing an extra �200million in NHS dentistry this year. New NHS dental practices are opening all the time to provide more NHS services around the country. Critics who claimed there will be a mass exodus of NHS dentists under the new contract are being proved wrong. The only problem was that his dentistry was worse than the 1940's. He ended up pulling my tooth out with no anaesthetic working. I will be very happy to have it done in a tent if the dentist was au fait with modern treatments which don''t hurt!• Posted by: TESSNASH • Report CommentTo view all 'Have Your Say' comments, click this button...
