OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between risk factors and hospital admission. METHODS: The 1998 Scottish Health Survey was linked to the Scottish hospital admission database. Findings Smoking was the most important behavioural risk factor (hazard ratio: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.59-2.27). Other behavioural risk factors yielded small but largely anticipated results. Hazard ratios for biological risks increased predictably but with some exceptions (blood pressure and total cholesterol). The top quintile for C-reactive protein showed almost double the risk of admission compared with the bottom quintile (hazard ratio: 1.93, 95% CI: 1.52-2.46). Elevated body mass index (BMI) increased the risk of serious admission (hazard ratio: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.03-1.47) and raised gamma-GT increased this risk by 20% (hazard ratio: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.04-1.38). Forced expiratory volume was the 'biological' factor with the largest risk (hazard ratio for lowest category: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.49-2.22). All the measures of social position showed variable effects on the risk of hospital admission. Large effects on risk were associated with self assessed health, longstanding illness and previous admission. CONCLUSION: The linkage of national surveys with a prospective hospitalization database will develop into an increasingly powerful tool.
