  • KEYNOTES: The health of the people in Buckinghamshire is generally better than the England average. Life expectancy is high, the rate of early death from heart disease and stroke and of hospital stays due to alcohol related harm are both lower than the England average. However, more than 300 people die or are seriously injured every year on the roads.
    Overall deprivation is low, and there are few inequalities within Buckinghamshire.
    Over the last ten years, the death rate from all causes combined and the rates of early death from heart disease and stroke and from cancer have all decreased and are lower than the England average.
    Children's health in Buckinghamshire is good. Breast- feeding initiation, childhood obesity, teenage pregnancy and GCSE attainment are all better than average. However, 11,000 children are living in poverty.
    The estimated percentage of adults who smoke and the rate of death from smoking are lower than the England average, although smoking still accounts for almost 600 deaths per year. Only 1 in 9 adults are physically active and almost 1 in 5 are obese.
    The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment for Buckinghamshire identifies the key health priorities for the area.
    The Buckinghamshire Healthy Communities Strategy includes work on tackling heart disease, stroke and diabetes and addressing childhood poverty. These documents can be found at: www.buckspct.nhs.uk
