However, recent information on the use of these interventions in primary care is lacking. We investigated for how many patients with newly diagnosed hypertension, hyperlipidaemia or obesity, lifestyle interventions were recorded in their primary care electronic health record. Design A retrospective cohort study. Setting English primary care, using UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Participants A total of 770,711 patients who were aged 18 years or older and received a new diagnosis of hypertension, hyperlipidaemia or obesity between 2010 and 2019. Main outcome measures Record of lifestyle intervention and/or medication in 12 months before to 12 months after initial diagnosis (2-year timeframe). Results Analyses show varying results across conditions: While 55.6% (95% CI 54.9–56.4) of individuals with an initial ...
