3-7-1. People living with multiple risk factors in South Australia – by Local Health Network
- In 2016, around a third (33.0%) of South Australians aged 18 years or more were living with two or more of the following risk factors: (i) current high blood pressure; (ii) current high cholesterol; (iii) undertakes less than 150 minutes per week of walking, moderate or vigorous physical activity; (iv) overweight or obese; (v) current smoker; (vi) long-term alcohol risk; and/or (vii) insufficient consumption of fruit and vegetables1.
- The rate varies considerably between the Local Health Networks (LHNs) although the proportion of people that live with multiple risk factors in Country SA (35.0%) is not statistically significantly higher than metropolitan Adelaide (32.1%)1.
- A statistically significant increasing trend over the last decade in the proportion of people reporting living with two or more risk factors was identified in metropolitan Adelaide but not in the Country SA series1.
| Local Health Network | % |
| Northern Adelaide LHN | 35.9% |
| Central Adelaide LHN | 26.2% |
| Southern Adelaide LHN | 35.2% |
| Metropolitan Adelaide | 32.1% |
| Country SA LHN | 35.0% |
| South Australia | 33.0% |

- In 2016, the proportion of males (34.4%) living with two or more of the following risk factors: (i) current high blood pressure; (ii) current high cholesterol; (iii) undertakes less than 150 minutes per week of walking, moderate or vigorous physical activity; (iv) overweight or obese; (v) current smoker; (vi) long-term alcohol risk; and/or (vii) insufficient consumption of fruit and vegetables was statistically significantly higher than the female rate (31.4%)1.
- The proportion is correlated with age1.

| 18-24 | 7.2% | 7.4% |
| 25-34 | 17.1% | 9.0% |

3-7-3. People living with multiple risk factors in South Australia – by socio-economic status
- There is a statistically significant inverse correlation between the proportion of people aged 18 years and over living with two or more of the following risk factors: (i) current high blood pressure; (ii) current high cholesterol; (iii) undertakes less than 150 minutes per week of walking, moderate or vigorous physical activity; (iv) overweight or obese; (v) current smoker; (vi) long-term alcohol risk; and/or (vii) insufficient consumption of fruit and vegetables and the socio-economic status of the area in which they live1.
- The proportion recorded in areas constituting South Australia's highest socio-economic (SES) quintile (26.6%) is around half that for the lowest SES quintile (40.8%)1.
| Socio-economic status (SES) | % |
| Lowest SES | 40.8% |
| Low SES | 35.2% |
| Middle SES | 35.9% |
| High SES | 27.1% |
| Highest SES | 26.6% |
