Long-term Monitoring of Health Inequalities: Headline Indicators - October 2013
Annual update of the 'Long-term Monitoring of Health Inequalities' headline indicators.
Alcohol - first ever hospital admission aged under 75 years
Summary
- The level of absolute inequality has fallen since 1997, while relative inequality has remained stable over the same period.
Between 1997[8] and 2011, rates of new hospital admissions for alcohol-related conditions among those aged under 75 years fell by 16% to around 11,000 new cases in 2011. These types of admissions are more common in deprived areas - 493 per 100,000 population compared to 89 per 100,000 population in areas of low deprivation. Relative inequality has remained broadly stable over time. There has been a decrease in absolute inequality since 1997, mainly caused by a decrease in the admission rate in the most deprived decile from 629 per 100,000 population in 1997 to 493 per 100,000 population in 2011.
