Dataset extent

Description

This dataset presents the footprint of the age-standardised percentage of adults who are overweight. Uncontrolled high blood pressure (measured high blood pressure) is defined as including any of the following; measured systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or more, or; diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or more, and; irrespective of the use of blood pressure medication. As an indication of the accuracy of estimates, 95% confidence intervals were produced. These were calculated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) using standard error estimates of the proportion. The data spans the financial year of 2014-2015 and is aggregated to 2015 Department of Health Primary Health Network (PHN) areas, based on the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

Health risk factors are attributes, characteristics or exposures that increase the likelihood of a person developing a disease or health disorder. Examples of health risk factors include risky alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and high blood pressure. High-quality information on health risk factors is important in providing an evidence base to inform health policy, program and service delivery.

Please note:

  • AURIN has spatially enabled the original data using the Department of Health - PHN Areas.

  • Age-standardisation is a method of removing the influence of age when comparing populations with different age structures - either different populations at the same time or the same population at different times. For this data the Australian estimated resident population of people aged 18 and over as at 30 June 2001 has been used as the standard population.

  • Adults are defined as persons aged 18 years and over.

  • Data for PHN701 (Northern Territory) should be interpreted with caution as the National Health Survey excluded discrete Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and very remote areas, which comprise around 28% of the estimated resident population of the Northern Territory living in private dwellings.
