| Annotation | Some of the factors that have an important influence on health in London - known as the "determinants of health" - are described. Changes over time in the ten indicators included in London Health Strategy are mapped and described. Of the ten indicators, those relevant to older people's health include: proportion of homes judged unfit to live in; burglary rate per 1000 population; air quality indicators; road traffic casualty rate per 1000 resident population; life expectancy at birth; and proportion of people with self-assessed fair, poor or bad health. The concept of "inequalities in health" is examined, and the reality of these inequalities in London explored. (RH). |
