Bio
My current research is focussed on trying to understand why cardiovascular mortality in Russia is so high and what can be done about it. My interest in this came out of a series of studies I worked on from the mid-1990s on what has been called "the Russian mortality crisis". Following the collapse of the Soviet Union male life expectancy fell to 57 years in 1994. Between 2002 and 2010, together with colleagues at LSHTM and in Russia, I led a Wellcome Trust funded case-control study on alcohol and mortality. This established for the first time a key role for hazardous drinking as a major explanation for high working age male mortality there.
High cardiovascular mortality is one of the main reasons why despite recent improvements life expectancy at birth in Russia (65 years for men and 76 for women in 2014) it remains substantially below that of other European countries. This led me with collaborators to set up the International Project on Cardiovascular Disease in Russia (IPCDR) involving over 50 scientists from Russia, the UK, Germany and Norway. This project was funded by the Wellcome Trust and various sources in Norway. It involves studies of the validity of certification of cause of death in Russia and Norway, synthesis of existing evidence about levels of cardiovascular risk factors in Russia, recruitment of over 1000 people who have had a myocardial infarction in 13 Russian regions to study their treatment and recruitment. The main part of the study has involved the recruitment of a population sample of 4500 working age men and women from two Russian cities. A very detailed medical examination of these working age adults has been conducted and information on social and economic circumstances and medical history have been collected. The cardiovascular profile of these participants is being compared with that of participants of the Norwegian Tromsø 7 study that was completed in 2016. These comparisons will be conducted within the framework of the Heart to Heart collaboration established with UiT The Arctic University of Norway.
