Predictions of good health for children…. Infant Mortality Rate & Low Birth Weight There is a clear link between high levels of infant mortality, deprivation and poor health outcomes. It is therefore often used as a comparative measure of a nation’s health as well as to predict where there will be significant health inequalities. Low birth weight is strongly associated with poorer health and poorer life chances and is an important predictor of future infant, child and adult health. The reason for this is that babies who have a low birth weight are at greater risk of dying in their first year compared to babies with more average birth weights. Starting Well

Staying Well Conditions that cause increasing disability are not necessarily those that cause mortality - however, improving lifestyles particularly around physical activity can improve outcomes In Basingstoke and Deane in January 2015, there were 465 people claiming PIP, for the following reasons, Malignancy (15%), Mental illness (severe) (28%), Neurological disease (including Stroke, MS, Parkinson’s and epilepsy) (11%), Musculoskeletal Disorders/disease (32%), Respiratory disease (5%). This is a slightly different profile compared with regional figures where there is marginal more claimants with musculoskeletal conditions, and slightly fewer people with Mental Health conditions (not significant) Conditions affecting health in adults and older people CCG CHD recorded prevalence CHD Estimated prevalence Diabetes recorded prevalence Diabetes Estimated Prevalence Hyper- tension recorded Prevalence Hyper- tension Estimated Prevalence North East Hants and Farnham 2.6% (1 in 38) 3.5% (1 in 29) 5.2% (1 in 19) 6.3% (1 in 16) 12.8% (1 in 8) 22.7% (1 in 5) North Hampshire2.6% (1 in 38) 3.6% (1 in 28) 5.7% (1 in 18) 6.2% (1 in 16) 12.3% (1 in 8) 22.9% (1 in 5) West Hampshire3.4% (1 in 29 ) 4.6% (1 in 22) 5.3% (1 in 19) 7.0% (1 in 14) 14.5% (1 in 7) 26.2% (1 in 4) South Eastern Hampshire 3.8% (1 in 26) 5.3% (1 in 19) 6.2% (1 in 16 ) 7.5% (1 in 13 ) 15.4% (1 in 6) 27.2% (1 in 4) Fareham & Gosport 3.6% (1 in 28) 4.5% (1 in 22) 6.2% (1 in 16 ) 6.8% (1 in 15) 15.5% (1 in 6) 26.0% (1 in 4) National3.3%4.7%6.2%-13.7%24.7%

Employment Being in good employment is generally protective to health, and people who are employed have lower rates of limiting long term illness, cardiovascular disease and health problems. (good news)

Life Expectancy at 65 years Life expectancy at 65 years for Basingstoke and Deane is 18.9 years for men and 20.7 years for women – although the gap is narrowing the LE in B&D is below the Hampshire average of 19.2 years for Men and 21.8 years for women Aging Well

Key issues for older people Falls –About one in three people over 65 years and half of people over 80 years fall at least once a year. –A hip fracture is the most immediate consequence of falls and pre-existing osteoporosis among older people affecting Independence, mobility, confidence and increasing isolation Excess winter deaths/Fuel poverty –The UK has one of the highest Excess Winter Death (EWD) rates in Europe and affects people of all ages –Older people tend to take fewer precautions (such as wearing warmer protective clothing) in cold weather; compared to those living in countries with cold winters Loneliness/Isolation –The influence of social relationships on the risk of death is comparable with risk factors for mortality such as smoking and alcohol consumption and exceed the influence of physical activity and obesity

Cost of determinants for health Aside from the costs of care and treatment, the cumulative impacts of behaviours that increase risks to health also result in reduced productivity, increased absenteeism and welfare costs. For example, estimated costs to the country as a whole include: inactivity: Estimated to cost £200 per inhabitant/ year –Violence: costs the economy £40 billion/ year in the UK –Environmental health: air pollution costs England about £10 billion/ year Sources: * Department of Health Chief Medical Officer Annual Report 2009; ** Estimates by The King’s Fund based on Department of Health, Chief Medical Officer Annual Report 2009

Issues of greatest significance for Hampshire An ageing population that may be experiencing a smaller proportion of its life in good health with significant ill health and dependency attributable to: –Mental ill health; –Musculoskeletal problems which in turn are linked to how we live our lives, how active we are, our educational attainment and resilience and –The significance of the impact of inequalities on individuals, their need for support, so hence the use of our resources –Dementia.
