Overall health in Warwickshire is good compared with the rest of the country, but there are areas where improvements can be made. The demand for health and care services is increasing with a growing and ageing population. There are avoidable differences in health outcomes, often linked to lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity and smoking, which affect healthy life expectancy (see figure below). These inequalities in health are under-pinned by factors such as education, employment, housing and a healthy environment.
In Warwickshire, on average males spent 13.7 years of their lives in ill health, whilst females spend 17.3 years in ill health.
