The first in the series was a Children and Young Person’s profile (links: CYP LCR & CYP Cheshire & Warrington). Profiles for Vulnerable Groups in LCR and Cheshire and Warrington are due to be published in early 2021. The Older People’s Profile begins with an overview of the population and mortality in LCR amongst those aged 65 and over. Comparisons are made with the wider area of Cheshire and Merseyside and with England. The profile then goes on to provide local data organised around the four domains used in the Public Health England (PHE) Productive Healthy Ageing Profiles1. 1. Optimise Health and Reduce Risks Early 2. Improve Wellbeing & Wider Determinants of Health 3. Reverse or Live Well with a Long-term Condition 4. Enhance Care & Support PHE based these domains on work by the WHO, as illustrated in Figure 1: Figure 1.Public Health Framework for Ageing (source: PHE, 20191, Figure 1, p.7) The aim of this profile is to provide a set of indicators that describe key issues relevant to older people’s health as they age, including risk and protective factors, early interventions, health outcomes, identification of need, and health and social care1. The profile will support the exploration of inequalities and inform actions to improve health outcomes. The Older People Health Profile 2020, Liverpool City Region PHI LJMU 2 information provided can be used to support development of joint strategic needs assessments, public health planning, and assessment of the overall impact of public health interventions in relation to older people1. It should be noted that some health topics, such as falls prevention and social isolation, will span different domains. Population The Office for National Statistics (ONS) Figure 2. % of population aged 65+, mid-year population estimates for 2019 region and sub region, 2019 show that Cheshire and Merseyside has 19.02 higher proportions of older people, both Liverpool City Region 20.39 17.58 males and females, than the North West 19.97 or England (Figure 2).
