  • a Data presented as n (%) unless otherwise stated.

  • b High consultation and health-check rates reflect few consultations recorded over a short follow-up period.

  • c ICD-10 code(s) used to classify admission. BMI = body mass index. BP = blood pressure. CVD = cardiovascular disease. ICD-10 = International Classification of Diseases (10th revision). IHD = ischaemic heart disease. MI = myocardial infarction. PVD = peripheral vascular disease. SD = standard deviation. SMI = severe mental illness. T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus.
