  1. IHD = ischaemic heart disease, COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, CKD = chronic kidney disease
  2. The standard errors for each of the estimated prevalences above are small: for cancers (< 0.3% [≤ 0.1% excluding age range 75–84 years]); for COPD (≤ 0.2%); for CKD (< 0.2%); for cirrhosis (< 0.1%) and for peptic ulcer (≤ 0.3%). For diabetes, IHD and stroke, 95% confidence intervals around prevalence estimates are shown in Figure 1.
