However the proportion of 17 year-old female current smokers increased in the same period from 18% to 23%.5 Tobacco and alcohol continue to be the greatest contributors to preventable disease, ill- health and social costs in Australia.6 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY In 2002, 32% of adults in Western Australia were not active at levels sufficient to benefit their health and a further 13% did not participate in any physical activity.7 The proportion of adults who are sufficiently active has declined between 1999 and 2002.7 In 2003, one in four boys and one in three girls at secondary school level reported doing no physical activity in a typical week. At primary school level, approximately one in seven students reported doing no sport, exercise or dance activities in a typical week.8 Just under 50% of all girls and 33% of all boys reported spending more than 10 hours per week on sedentary behaviours.8 For every 1 per cent increase in the proportion of people who are sufficiently active, the national health cost of heart disease, diabetes and colon cancer combined could be reduced by about $3.6 million per year.9 NUTRITION In Australia, around one half of adult women and two thirds of adult men are overweight or obese and the prevalence is increasing.10 In Western Australia, 43.2% of men and 26.5% of women aged 18 years and over were overweight in 2002, with a further 13.3% of men and 12.7% of women classified as obese (total overweight and obese = 56.5% of men and 39.2% of women).7 National data indicate that the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Australian children has doubled in the last decade.11 In Western Australia, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children aged 7 to 15 years increased from 9.3% of boys and 10.6% of girls in 1985 to 23.1% of boys and 30.5% of girls in 2003.8 Annual Report 2004-2005 1 MENTAL HEALTH Total recurrent spending on mental health services in Australia represented some 6.5% of national expenditure on health services in 1997-8, and the spending on mental
