EXPLORE Health

The Health Outcome Measures presents physical health based on the ONS (Office for National Statistics) data and the indicator, Healthy Life Expectancy at Birth. It also shows Local Authority level health inequalities.

Health expectancies are a way to monitor whether the ‘extra’ years gained are spent in ‘Good’ health or free from a limiting illness or disability. They are used as summary measures to assess population health status over time, and to highlight health inequalities in the UK.
