Wales: Profiles of Lifestyle and Health
12 February 2010
News
Profiles of lifestyle and health have been produced by the Public Health Wales Observatory as part of a series following the demography profile released in June 2009. It aims to assist the health boards in understanding the health of their population and in their planning activities, as well as provide a resource on lifestyle for other stakeholders.
It presents information on behaviours relating to health, as well as their impact on health in Wales through outcome measures. It provides a snapshop of local patterns in Wales displayed in traffic light tables, and also contains some comparisons to other countries. The topics covered are diet, physical activity and obesity; smoking; alcohol; illicit drugs; sexual health and dental health. For the first time smoking-attributable mortality has been calculated for Wales.
