Introduction This section of the JSNA considers the key public health issues of life expectancy, mortality and major long term causes of illness. Indeed, life expectancy (and inversely, mortality) may be considered one of the ultimate measures of public health. Life expectancy across the UK has been rising continuously over the previous two centuries, (where we have reliable records). As well as improvements in healthcare, much of this increase has been due to improvements in wider determinants of health, such as housing, sanitation and nutrition. Over the last 30 years, life expectancy at birth in the UK increased by eight years for men and six years for women (between 1982 and 2012).1 This is highly positive, however it is also very important to ensure that quality of life stays high as well. Therefore we have also considered healthy life expectancy in comparison against comparator areas. These increases in life expectancy also pose their own challenges, and have contributed to the ageing of the population of St.Helens illustrated in the JSNA Section 1 – Demographics and Wider Determinants. An older population potentially means more people living with long term conditions, such as cancer or respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Therefore this section also considers these major conditions, including current prevalence. Potentially increases in the number of people living with these conditions both increases the effect on local people and increases pressures on healthcare and social care services. This information should be used by commissioners and providers to plan services to best meet current and future need, both improving people’s quality of life and reducing demands on health and social care services. 1 http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/lifetables/historic-and-projected-data-from-the-period-and-cohort-life- tables/2012-based/stb-2012-based.html#tab-Life-Expectancy--ex--at-Birth
