JSNA Healthy People and long term conditions

Introduction and data summary

Our health is one of the most important assets we have as individuals, communities, and society. Health is a state of physical, mental, and social wellbeing, and can be different for different people. For example, for one person, the most important thing for their health might be whether they are able to spend time with those they love. For another, it might be their ability to work and support their family. Summary statistics can help us describe key aspects of health across different life stages within our communities and population in Hampshire.

Local public health teams work in collaboration with other organisations to empower people to take control of their own health, reduce health inequalities and, ultimately, to prevent people experiencing ill health in the first place. This chapter focuses on the health outcomes of our population and the health inequalities which are evident.

Healthy People - Hampshire data summary

Mental Health and Wellbeing

This report summarises and supports the data and evidence presented in Healthy People, covering:

  • Adult Mental Health disorders: self-reporting wellbeing and prevalence of common mental health disorders
  • Children and Young People Wellbeing and common mental health disorders
  • Serious Mental Illness (SMI): Prevalence, outcomes, health checks, admissions and mortality
  • Mental Health Services: Referrals and admissions

Wellbeing is not just the absence of disease or illness and can be impacted by a person's physical, mental and emotional health and wider determinant factors, such as work, housing, relationships and education. Wellbeing is strongly linked to happiness and life satisfaction. In short, wellbeing could be described as how you feel about yourself and your life.

Mental health and Wellbeing

Population Groups

This report explores certain population groups including: carers; people with learning disability; special education needs and disabilities; and inclusion health groups. Each of these groups have an increased risk of adverse outcomes:

  • Unpaid carers are more than twice as likely to suffer from poor health compared to people without caring responsibilities.
  • People with learning disabilities often have different and complex health care needs leading to increased prescribing and polypharmacy.
  • Special educational needs' is a legal definition and refers to children with learning problems or disabilities that make it harder for them to learn than most children the same age.
  • Inclusion Health Groups is a ‘catch-all’ term used to describe people who are socially excluded, typically experience multiple overlapping risk factors for poor health (such as poverty, violence and complex trauma), experience stigma and discrimination, and are not consistently accounted for in electronic records (such as healthcare databases).

Population groups

Older adults

This report is focused on older adults, exploring the prevalence of reduced mobility, incontinence, sensory impairments, falls, dementia and frailty. Much of the data used in this section applies national survey proportions to local population data to estimate the numbers of people experiencing these conditions as no reliable local data exists. Development of these conditions can be interlinked and therefore older people may experience a number of these conditions so the separate counts should not be combined together. Many of these conditions can be mitigated through healthy lifestyle factors such as good diet and physical activity.

Older adults

Long term conditions

Long Term Conditions are those that cannot, at present, be cured, but people living with these conditions can be supported to maintain a good quality of life. People might be living with more than one long-term condition. However many conditions people are living with, it is important that they feel supported to manage their overall health and wellbeing.

People living with a long-term condition are more likely to use health and care services. People living with a long-term condition are less likely to be working than the general population. People who smoke are more likely to have flare ups in their condition and more likely to be admitted to hospital. People aged over 85 years are more likely to be living with a long-term condition including frailty.

Long term conditions

Needs assessments and reports

Health of working age population in Hampshire 2024

Health of the working age population report

This report aims to better understand the person and place based characteristics of our working age population. Trends in premature mortality and healthy life expectancy will provide context to the overall measure of our population’s health. Health data including benefits data will be explored to provide detailed insight into the health of our population and the physical and mental health challenges they may be experiencing. The data report will cover the Hampshire and Isle of Wight council areas.

Health needs assessment of adults with learning disabilities in Hampshire 2024

Adults with learning disabilities have a higher risk of morbidity and premature mortality compared with the general population, demonstrating the significant health inequalities they face. Improving the lives of adults with learning disabilities is a national priority.

There have been national reviews to identify common themes in mortality and gaps in care provision. This health needs assessment builds on this approach at a local level, bringing together a range of intelligence on the health of people with a learning disability and the particular risk factors they experience. It reviews the health and care of adults with learning disabilities in both Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

The objectives are to:

  • set out the prevalence of learning disability in Hampshire and Isle of Wight
  • define the risk factors that contribute to premature death
  • understand the access to care and support for adults with learning disabilities

JSNA Cancer Report September 2024

JSNA Cancer Report September 2024 

This report aims to examine cancer incidence and mortality trends in the population across Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board (HIOW ICB). It focuses on the four predominant cancer types; breast, colorectal, lung and prostate. The data highlights the importance of prevention and the early diagnosis of cancer in people who live in the Hampshire and Isle of Wight area. By exploring the prevalence of risk factors, which may increase the risk of someone developing cancer, incidence and mortality trends and local variation across the ICB, it can inform which cancer types, populations and areas the ICB, and partners should focus on. Most of the data presented in this report can be explored in more detail in the JSNA Cancer PowerBI data resource. The data can be used to;

  • explore cancer risk factors by small area in the context of cancer incidence to inform preventative work
  • present incidence and mortality rates and trends across the ICB compared to England
  • better understand the person demographics of those who have died by cancer by type, age, sex, occupation, deprivation to identify inequalities in population groups and characteristics of people diagnosed with cancer
  • identify place inequalities of where people live within the population at a small geographical areas middle super output area (MSOA), by GP and Primary Care Networks (PCNs) of cancer incidence across Hampshire and Isle of Wight.
  • understand early diagnosis data and variance by cancer type

The data have been presented at the available geographies, these may be ICB or Sub ICB, PCN, GP, local authority or MSOA. Some data are presented for Portsmouth however mortality and hospital admissions do not include Portsmouth.

Oral health needs assessment 2016/17

This needs assessment presents the oral health needs of Hampshire’s residents to inform the commissioning of oral health services. The report identifies evidence based interventions and provides evidence of unmet need so that we can best target resources to improve oral health.

Children with special educational needs and disability (SEND) 2016/17

These reports address the needs of Hampshire children and young people aged 0-25 years who have special educational needs or a disability (SEND):

Children and Young People’s Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health Needs Assessment 2018

This report builds on the previous 2014 report. It includes information on the prevalence and incidence of mental health conditions for children and young people aged 0-19 and provides an update on risk and protective factors affecting their emotional and mental health. This document will be used to support work to meet the mental health needs of children and young people in Hampshire.
