Population and Demographics Sample Clauses

Population and Demographics. The North East of Scotland has a population of approximately 488,000 (229,000 in Aberdeen City, 259,000 in Aberdeenshire), equivalent to 9% of the Scottish total. The population continues to grow, at over double the Scottish rate of growth over the last decade. Important changes in the age profile of the region’s residents over the past decade have been recorded. The Skills Development Scotland (SDS) Aberdeen City & Shire Skills Assessment, published in January 2016, notes the region has experienced: • An increase in school roll numbers in the next five years when they are falling across Scotland • An increase in the number of adults aged 20 – 34 years old • Mixed movements in some ‘prime’ working age groups • A marked ageing of the population. The population of the region is forecast to continue to grow over the coming decade at a similar rate as the past decade, 9%, with most growth expected in the population of Aberdeen City. This contrasted with the past decade where most growth was experienced in Aberdeenshire. Again, this rate of expected growth is higher than the rate of growth predicted for Scotland as a whole. The SDS Aberdeen City & Shire Regional Skills Assessment forecasts that the “prime working age population of the region is expected to continue to grow, and the recent ageing of the population is expected to accelerate over the coming decade.” The Assessment also predicts that the greatest population increases will be amongst those over the age of 50, especially those over the age of 65. An increase in the number of young people under the age of 16, a decline in the 16-29 age group and an increase in the ‘prime’ working age group is expected: Education Qualifications Labour market participation in the region in 2014-15 accounted for 80% of the working age population compared to 73% for both Scotland and the UK. FE/HE leavers in the region are deemed more work-ready by employers than the national average although this is the reverse for school leavers.

Population and Demographics. The College’s Bedford & Kempston campus is situated within Bedford Borough, which is in the Xxxxxx Keynes & South Midlands growth area, with 8,000 new homes planned by 2021. Much of this residential development is in the parishes of Biddenham, Eastcotts, Great Xxxxxx, Renhold, Kempston, Wixams and Wootton, and in Bedford Town Centre around Cauldwell. As a result, the Borough population is expected to grow significantly to approximately 174,700 by 2021. However the number of 16-18 year olds (estimated at 6,308 in 2015) is expected to decrease to 5,956 by 2020, a decrease of 6%, and then grow to 6,696 by 2025. The 19-23 year old population (estimated at 12,277 in 2015) is also expected to decrease by 3% up to 2020, and continue to decline after this period. It is only the 25-60 year old population that is expected to increase (by 4% by 2020). The population make-up is similar in Central Bedfordshire, where Xxxxxxxxxxxx College is situated, with a 3% decline among the 16-18 population, 7% decline among the 19-23 population and 4% growth among the 24-60 population by 2020. Luton and Xxxxxx Keynes, towns from where the College also attracts students, has a slightly more positive population forecast for the 16-18 population, with a 1% decline in Luton and a 2% increase in Xxxxxx Keynes. The other age groups are a similar profile to Bedford Borough. The 16-18 population in Corby and Kettering is expected to grow significantly by 2026. Bedford Borough has an ethnically diverse population. The 2011 Census indicated that 28.5% of the population was from minority ethnic groups (BME), compared to 20.2% nationally. The main BME groups are White Other (including Italian and Polish communities), and Indian, with substantial populations of Black African, Black Caribbean, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, White Irish, mixed White and Black Caribbean. The BME population is concentrated in Bedford and Kempston, with particularly large BME communities in Queens Park and Cauldwell wards, followed by Castle, Kingsbrook, Harpur, Kempston Central & East, Kempston South, Goldington and Kempston North. The languages most commonly spoken as a main language are Polish, Panjabi, Bengali and Italian.

Population and Demographics. The North East of Scotland has a population of approximately 476,000 (223,000 in Aberdeen City and 253,000 in Aberdeenshire), equivalent to 9% of the Scottish total. Population growth in the region has accelerated in recent years, outpacing both Scotland and the UK. The population of Aberdeen City is forecast to continue to rise gradually to a peak in 2030 before declining, while the population of Aberdeenshire is set to continue rising for the foreseeable future. The age profile of the region differs in comparison to Scottish averages. In Aberdeen City, 23.3% of the population are aged 16­ 29 years compared to the Scottish average of 18.7%. Those 60+ years make up 20.4% of the population of Aberdeen City, which is lower than the Scottish average of 23.1%. In comparison Aberdeenshire’s population has a lower than average proportion of those aged 16­29 at 15.1% and a proportion of those aged 60+ slightly above the Scottish average at 23.2%. By 2033 the population of Aberdeen City is projected to increase by 4.4% compared to the population in 2008, while the population of Aberdeenshire is projected to increase by 22.3% during the same period. The population of Scotland is projected to increase by 7.3% by 2033. Over the next 25 years, the age group that is projected to increase the most in size in both Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire is the 75+ age group. This is the same for Scotland as a whole. The population aged under 16 is projected to decline by 4.9% in Aberdeen City and increase by 10.6% in Aberdeenshire during this period. The region’s working age population is 67% in Aberdeen City and 62% in Aberdeenshire compared to the figure of 63% for Scotland.

  • Study Population The study was based at the San Francisco KPNC Anal Cancer Screening Clinic. We enrolled men who were identified as positive for HIV through the Kaiser HIV registry, who were aged ≥ 18 years, who were not diag- nosed with anal cancer before enrollment, and who pro- vided informed consent. In total, 363 men were enrolled between August 2009 and June 2010. The study was reviewed and approved by the institutional review boards at KPNC and at the National Cancer Institute. All partici- pants were asked to complete a self-administered ques- tionnaire to collect risk factor information. Additional information regarding HIV status and medication, sexu- ally transmitted diseases, and histopathology results were abstracted from the KPNC clinical database. For 87 of the 271 subjects without biopsy-proven AIN2 or AIN3 at the time of enrollment, follow-up infor- mation concerning outcomes from additional clinic visits up to December 2011 was available and included in the analysis to correct for the possible imperfect sensitivity of high-resolution anoscopy (HRA).13,15 Clinical Examination, Evaluation, and Results During the clinical examination, 2 specimens were col- lected by inserting a wet flocked nylon swab16 into the anal canal up to the distal rectal vault and withdrawing with rotation and lateral pressure. Both specimens were trans- ferred to PreservCyt medium (Hologic, Bedford, Mass). A third specimen was collected for routine testing for Chla- mydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea. After specimen collection, participants underwent a digital anorectal ex- amination followed by HRA. All lesions that appeared sus- picious on HRA were biopsied and sent for routine histopathological review by KPNC pathologists, and were subsequently graded as condyloma or AIN1 through AIN3. No cancers were observed in this study population. From the first specimen, a ThinPrep slide (Hologic) was prepared for routine Xxxxxxxxxxxx staining and xxxxx- xxxxx. Two pathologists (T.D. and D.T.) reviewed the slides independently. Cytology results were reported anal- ogous to the Bethesda classification17 for cervical cytology except when otherwise noted. The following categories were used: negative for intraepithelial lesion or malig- xxxxx (NILM); ASC-US; atypical squamous cells cannot rule out high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (ASC-H); low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL); HSIL, favor AIN2 (HSIL-AIN2); and HSIL-AIN3. ASC-H, HSIL-AIN2, and HSIL-AIN3 were combined into a single high-grade cytology category for the current analysis. Biomarker Testing Using the residual specimen from the first collection, mtm Laboratories AG (Heidelberg, Germany) performed the p16INK4a/Ki-67 dual immunostaining (‘‘p16/Ki-67 staining’’) using their CINtec Plus cytology kit according to their specifications. A ThinPrep 2000 processor (Holo- gic) was used to prepare a slide, which then was stained according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The CINtec Plus cytology kit was then applied to the unstained cytol- ogy slide for p16/Ki-67 staining. On the second collected specimen, Roche Molecular Systems (Pleasanton, Calif) tested for HR-HPV, includ- ing separate detection of HPV-16, and HPV-18 DNA, using their cobas 4800 HPV test. To prepare DNA for the cobas test, automated sample extraction was per- formed as follows: 500 lL of the PreservCyt specimen was pipetted into a secondary tube (Falcon 5-mL polypropyl- ene round-bottom tube, which measured 12-mm-by-75- mm and was nonpyrogenic and sterile). The tube was capped, mixed by vortexing, uncapped, placed on the x-480 specimen rack, and loaded onto the x-480 sample extraction module of the cobas 4800 system. The x-480 extraction module then inputs 400 lL of this material into the specimen preparation process. The extracted DNA was then tested as previously described.16 NorChip AS (Klokkarstua, Norway) also tested the second specimen for HPV-16, -18, -31, -33, and -45 HPV E6/E7 mRNA using their PreTect HPV-Proofer assay according to their specifications. All testing was per- formed masked to the results of the other assays, clinical outcomes, and patient characteristics.
