Annual Public Health Report 2018

The focus of this year’s APHR is ‘Healthy Ageing: Working together to improve wellbeing in later life’. The concept of healthy ageing captures the broad range of factors that influence the health and wellbeing of older adults, including the wider determinants of wellbeing. This year’s annual report summarises what we know about older adults living in Camden and Islington, and their health, wellbeing and quality of life. The report considers the current challenges and opportunities under each of the following four key themes: • Quality of life, including being connected and feeling valued • Environments that promote and support healthy ageing • Key life transitions into and during older age • Accessible, responsive and joined up health and care services when needed.
