Profiles of lifestyle and health published

Profiles of lifestyle and health have been produced by the Public Health Wales Observatory as part of a series.

The profiles can be downloaded from our website on http://www.wales.nhs.uk/sites3/page.cfm?orgid=568&pid=42971  

The profiles present information on behaviours relating to health, as well as their impact on health in Wales through outcome measures. It provides a snapshop of local patterns in Wales displayed in traffic light tables, and also contains some comparisons to other countries. The topics covered are diet, physical activity and obesity; smoking; alcohol; illicit drugs; sexual health and dental health. For the first time smoking-attributable mortality has been calculated for Wales.
