3-7-1. People living with multiple risk factors in South Australia – by Local Health Network
- In 2018, around a three quarters (71.8%) of South Australians aged 18 years or more were living with two or more of the following health risk factors: (i) current high blood pressure; (ii) current high cholesterol; (iii) no physical activity; (iv) overweight or obese; (v) current smoker; (vi) long-term alcohol risk; and/or (vii) insufficient consumption of fruit or vegetables1.
- The rate varies between the local health networks (LHNs) from 66.3% in the Central Adelaide LHN to 84.1% in the Flinders and Upper North LHN1.
- The proportion of people that live with multiple risk factors in Country SA (73.9%) is statistically significantly higher than metropolitan Adelaide (70.7%)1.
- No time series is available for this indicator due to a change in survey methods. In 2018, SA Health discontinued the South Australian Monitoring and Surveillance System (SAMSS) and moved to the improved South Australian Population Health Survey (SAPHS). Results between the collections are not comparable.
