4269.0 Chronic disease epidemiology

Tuesday, November 9, 2010: 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM
Oral
The diversity of the fields of chronic disease epidemiology is evident from the content of this session. Two studies about predictors of mortality will be discussed. In addition, fibromyalgia in the Nationwide Inpatient Study, temporal trends in four chronic conditions in Texas and a geoSpatial analysis of stroke hospitalizations will be discussed.
Session Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, the learner (participant) will be able to: 1) Describe the incidence of self-reported CHD among US military service members; 2) To investigate the role of antihypertensive drug regiments in achieving satisfactory BP control in essential hypertensive patients; and 3) Evaluate the substitution of self-report data for biomarker data and its overall performance as a modified risk score to predict CHD events.
