new YORK (Reuters Health) – the universal coverage of the
medicines partially helps close the gap between rich and
poor with complications with diabetes, according to a study
developed in Canada.
a team found that a large part of the gap by income
associated with heart of diabetic adults risks
disappeared at age 65, when in Canada begins the
drugs. universal coverage
as in the United States, Canadians under the age of 65 should
pay remedies or hire a health insurance through your
employer.
in the new study, more than 600,000 diabetics of
Ontario, the authors found that patients of low
income had more risk of having a heart attack, an accident
stroke (CVA) or die than patients with older
income. But that has disappeared to 65 years.
published in Diabetes Care results do not prove that the
universal coverage of the drugs clears the gap by
income. but there is another factor that explains the “change
sudden” at 65, as said the lead author, Dr.
Gillian l. Booth, the Hospital and the University of Toronto
St. Michael, Ontario.
“This coincides with the results of previous studies,”
said Booth. such investigations had shown that each
more diabetic time could not pay its remedies, which include
drugs for controlling blood sugar, but also for
hypertension, high cholesterol and other disorders
are
characteristic of the disease.
“if expands the coverage of drugs could
save some lives”, entrusted Booth.
< p> Los resultados del estudio surgen de las historias clÃnicas
de 606.051 adultos de Ontario controlados durante seis años. nl
ese perÃodo, 48.000 fueron hospitalizados por un infarto o un
ACV y 111.000 murieron por callbacks causas.
La tasa de infartos más alta se registró en el 20 por ciento
de los diabéticos menores de 65 con los ingresos más bajos: el 2
por ciento jaarlijkse versus el 1,4 por ciento del 20 por ciento más
rico.
Aun tras considerar otros Factores factores, como los antecedentes
cardÃacos previos al estudio, el equipo detectó que los bajos
ingresos se mantenÃan asociados con un aumento del riesgo del 51
por ciento.
Pero al estudiar een los adultos mayores, la brecha entre
ricos y pobres se redujo: el grupo con los ingresos más bajos
Si un 12 por ciento más riesgo de tener un infarto, un ACV o
de die than the group more wealthy.
For Booth, universal drug coverage
explains the results, but it is not the sole cause of the gap
among rich and poor. “It’s more complicated”, said.
diabetes is a complex disease which requires a style
healthy lifestyle and daily control of the level of sugar in
blood so that diet, exercise, smoking and the
ability to read and understand information on the disease
are fundamental.
the author felt that the results apply to other
countries, including United States, where the Medicare program
covers drug costs for older adults from the
2006. studies had shown that since the implementation of
that benefit, increased adhesion of those who have access to their
treatments.
