Title: Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD) 2019 - Health
Abstract: The purpose of this domain is to measure lack of good health. The indicators are: • People with a GP-recorded diagnosis of a Chronic condition (indirectly age-sex standardised) • People with a GP-recorded diagnosis of a Mental health condition (indirectly age-sex standardised) • Cancer Incidence (indirectly age-sex standardised) • Limiting Long-Term Illness (indirectly age-sex standardised) • Premature Death Rate (death of those under the age of 75) The indicators above are age-sex standardised to adjust for the expected prevalence of disease within the underlying population. This allows the index to identify areas where health deprivations exists beyond the effect of age and sex. • Children aged 4-5 who are Obese • Low Birth Weight, single births (live births less than 2.5kg)   To access all the individual spatial layers for the domains (types) of deprivation please click <a title="Spatial layers for the WIMD 2019 domains (types)" href="https://datamap.gov.wales/layergroups/inspire-wg:WelshIndexOfMultipleDeprivationWIMD2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here.</a>
