| Annotation | Reports in the 'Indications of public health in the English regions' series examine areas covered by the White Paper, 'Choosing health'. The West Midlands Public Health Observatory has lead responsibility for older people and has edited this report, which provides an insight into the health status of older people (aged 65+) in the English regions, based mainly on data from 2005. Chapters cover the following themes: demography; life expectancy and mortality; morbidity; physical functionality; mental health; quality of life and well-being; lifestyle; and use of services. A further chapter (by the Wales Centre for Health, the Scottish Public Health Observatory, and Ireland and Northern Ireland's Population Health Observatory) summarises health indicators for older people in the five countries of the UK and Ireland. An appendix provides a "traffic light summary" of indicators (better than, consistent with, or worse than average) for the English regions. Other reports in this series covering topics such as general health, lifestyles, ethnicity, mental health and alcohol can be found on the APHO website (at www.apho.org.uk/apho/indicators/htm).
