..The Danish Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Registry was established in 1956...

..Overall, mortality was almost three times higher and life expectancy 10 years less among people with MS than for the general population. However, excess mortality has declined significantly since 1950...

..90) and suffocation (SMR = 5.57). We conclude that persons with MS are more prone to fatal accidents than the general population. The excess risk is due not to traffic accidents but to burns and suffocation...

..In Denmark the life expectancy began to increase in the mid-1990s after many years of stagnation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the increase was independent of educational level...

..The study evaluated the health impact of specific diseases...

..To estimate the impact of diseases on social differences in life expectancy and expected lifetime with illness among Danes in 1995-99...

..To estimate the impacts of tobacco smoking, high alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and overweight on expected lifetime with and without long-standing, limiting illness...

..The purpose of the study was to determine trends in social inequality in mortality and life expectancy in Denmark...

..The purpose of the study was to estimate the difference in expected lifetime with cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diseases of the musculoskeletal system between Danes with high and low educational levels...

..The purpose of the study was to estimate the impact of tobacco smoking, high alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, and overweight on QALYs...

..The purpose of the study was to determine trends in social inequality in health expectancy since 1994 between groups with high, medium and low educational levels in Denmark...

..The purpose of this study was to quantify the average lifetime according to health status among the oldest olds in Denmark...

..To compare the suicide risk among Danish citizens with multiple sclerosis with that of the general population, and to evaluate changes over 45 years...

..The purpose of the study was to estimate changes in health expectancy in Denmark from 1987 to 2000 and to assess theories about the relation between increased total lifetime and lifetime in various health states...

..The excess mortality among male patients was due only to cardiovascular diseases...

..The purpose of this study is to predict the effect on mortality from ischaemic heart disease (IHD) in Denmark of reduced exposure to the risk factors hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, cigarette smoking, and physical inactivity...

..The aim of the study was to estimate health expectancy--that is, the average lifetime in good health--in never smokers, ex-smokers, and smokers in Denmark...

..We found that although life expectancy of a heavy smoker is 7 years shorter than that of a never smoker, heavy smokers can expect to live more than 2 years longer with musculoskeletal diseases than never smokers...

..e. average lifetime without disabilities, in Denmark and in the counties of Denmark and evaluate the relation between life expectancy and the proportion of disability-free life expectancy...

..The probability for survival improved significantly during the observation period. Thus, the 10-year excess mortality was almost halved in comparison with that in the middle of the 1900s...

..The purpose of the study was to compare health expectancy in population groups at high, medium and low educational levels...

..The purpose of the study was to estimate health expectancy among never smokers and smokers in groups at high, medium, and low educational levels in Denmark...

..To describe the characteristics of men and women exposed to physical violence, to identify risk factors for violence exposure and to quantify the attributable healthcare costs of violence...

..Firstly we identified victims of violence in national registers and discussed strengths and weaknesses of this approach. Secondly we assessed the magnitude of violence and the characteristics of the victims using register-based data...

..The EQ-5D is a widely used generic health-related quality of life instrument that has been used to describe population health and health outcomes in clinical trials and health economic evaluations...

..We introduce the Danish Data Archive and briefly present the Act on Processing of Personal Data, which is the legal foundation for analyses of register-based data in Denmark...

..The result suggests that there may be a productivity gain associated with mitigation efforts...

..We found that the health care costs were about €1,800 higher for victims of violence than for nonvictims per year, driven mostly by higher psychiatric costs and multiple episodes of violence...

..This article introduces a database and search engine, which is available for public health and welfare researchers as an aid to seek information on the content of important Danish registers...

..Furthermore, the study showed that healthy life years (HLYs) at 50 years of age were much higher in Denmark than in the other EU countries in 2005. However, the results of this study should be interpreted with caution...

..Among women, environmental changes could include older age at first birth, use of oral contraceptives, or changes in sun behaviour and/or vitamin D status...

..The most important results are briefly presented. CONCLUSION: The Danish MS register has proven to be a valuable tool for MS epidemiology and has provided knowledge that could not otherwise be achieved...

..The high social care costs and productivity costs associated with CP point to a potential gain from labour market interventions that benefit individuals with CP...

..Eight of the 26 deaths were associated with epilepsy and four died from epilepsy. Future staff education should focus on better managing of the complex relationships between ASD and physical illness to prevent avoidable deaths...

..A study was undertaken on implementing medical data collection as a tool to assess the relative number and character of intentional injuries before and during an armed conflict...

..In this study we used the extensive registration of all Danish citizens to describe the magnitude of HWE among all Danish electricians and evaluated strategies for minimizing HWE bias of the association between occupation and mortality...

..Current guidelines broadly recommend comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR), although evidence for this is still limited. It is not known whether evidence from before 1995 is still valid...
