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.

de 606.051 adultos de Ontario controlados durante seis años. nl

ese período, 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

cardíacos previos al estudio, el equipo detectó que los bajos

ingresos se mantenían 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.
