Health and Well-being. The factors affecting the health of Slough’s population are complex and varied. At one level are the structural issues which affect all communities. This includes the urban environment and corollary issues of poor quality housing (both public and private sector), the presence of a large industrial estate and several smaller industrial zones towards the east of the town, traffic congestion with the close proximity of the M4, M25 and M40 as well as the A4 and Slough’s close links with Heathrow. Combined these factors have a detrimental impact upon the health of local residents from all backgrounds. A second factor to assess relates to the demographics of the population itself. The percentage of households in Slough that had one or more persons with a limiting long-term disability (2001 Census) stood at 14%, a relatively high percentage when compared to regional peers. This itself can be attributed to the nature of industry that has historically been in the town and the preponderance of manual, low skilled work that had been available for residents. Poor health is strongly correlated to poverty and approximately 5,800 children are living in low- income households whilst socio-economic issues can also affect dietary habits and levels of alcohol consumption and smoking. And although people’s lifestyles (alcohol, diet) are significantly better than the national or regional average, a higher percentage of the adult population are estimated to smoke (25.2%) whilst alcohol consumption remains higher amongst certain demographics. Finally, Slough is home to a heterogeneous mix of communities each of which brings unique challenges. In Slough circulatory diseases (coronary heart disease and strokes) are the largest cause of loss of life, closely followed by all cancers. Diabetes is also a major health problem and is particularly common in the Asian communities. Death rates for circulatory diseases in Slough are significantly higher than the rest of Berkshire, the South-East and England & Wales, although death rates in Slough appear to be falling at least as fast as the rest of the country. Loss of life in attributable to cancer is not significantly different from the average for the South East and for England & Wales. Life expectancy in Slough is slightly lower than the South East and national Average. In 2003 life expectancy for the most deprived 20% of the town stood at 75 years, 4.5 years less than for people in the most affluent 20% of the town. Both figures remain...
Health and Well-being. Xxxxx Residents must have the best possible chance of a long, fulfilling and healthy life. Our challenge is to reduce the gap in life expectancy that exists between our residents born in the south and the north of the borough. At a borough wide level life expectancy is at the national average at 82.6 years for women and 76.4 years for men. But these figures mask the gap between the lowest level 71.7 years for men living in Harlesden and 81 years for men living in Northwick Park, a gap of 9.3 years. Circulatory diseases, including heart disease and stroke, and cancers are the most common cause of death in Xxxxx. People most likely to die prematurely from these health conditions are men under 75 living in Harlesden and Stonebridge. The prevalence of diabetes in Xxxxx is also high compared to the national average with 4.6% of the population being diagnosed with the condition, although the proportion that are undiagnosed may be closer to 6%. Women particularly from the Asian population tend to be most affected although the death rate from diabetes related illness is higher amongst men. The incidence of mental health problems in Xxxxx is also higher than the national average with 8% more admissions into secondary care for mental heath disorders. Smoking has been identified as the single greatest cause of preventable illness and premature death. While smoking rates for the borough as a whole are in line with the rest of England at 25.7% this varies between 40% of residents in Stonebridge estimated to be smokers and 16% in Kenton. Young, single people are also more likely to smoke, a group which is strongly represented in the Xxxxx population. Sexual heath is a critical issue for many young people with an overall increase in the diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections, particularly Chlamydia predominantly amongst the under 25 age group. While the increase is in part due to better diagnostic techniques consultation with young people highlights the need for access to sexual health information and services as a high priority. This includes contraceptive services and while there has been a steady decrease in teenage pregnancy the current rate of
