Introduction

Life expectancy is one of the main indicators for health inequalities. It has been set as the overarching work stream for tackling health inequalities in Birmingham by the Health and Wellbeing Partnership (BHWP).

This Ward Profile series aims to:

• Provide a detailed ward level picture of local health inequality context

• Describe life expectancy trend in each target ward

• Investigate into leading conditions that cause deaths locally to provide local focus for each target ward and

• Suggest future area/ factors for extended research

Figure 1.1 Population by age group and gender, Sutton Trinity 2006

Figure 1.1 illustrates:

• Children under school leaving age (i.e. age 0 - 19) represent 24.2% (5,894) of the Sutton Trinity population. Persons of retirement age (age 65+) account for 18.32% (4,461).

• The age structure of the ward reflects that the under 19 age group is 2.2 percentage points higher that the Birmingham average: equally the 65+ age group is also higher by 7.68 percentage points against the city average


1.2 Ethnicity

Ethnicity has some influences in terms of what diseases an individual could develop through their life. With this in mind, analysis of the ethnicity of the local population becomes a requirement in order to target vulnerable health groups. Table 1.1 shows the ethnicity distribution in the Sutton Trinity population, compared with Birmingham and England.

• Each % column in table 1.1 represents the percentage of the total population that fit into that ethnic group. The N* column show the quantity of people in thousands that are from each group, for the ward, City and nationally.

• Less than a tenth (4.9%) of the population in Sutton Trinity is of non-white ethnicity (i.e. Black and Minority Ethnicity (BME) Group. Within the BME group, Pakistanis represents 0.61%, Indian 1.42% and Black Caribbean 0.79%.

• The proportion of BME (4.9%) is less than the proportion of Birmingham (32.7%), and less than halve that of the average across England (11.3%).

• White ethnicity (95.1%) is higher than national /local levels.

2 Life expectancy trend Life expectancy is one of the most important forecasters for health inequalities across the population; since there is evidence that people most need them do not have access to services. This section gives an overview of life expectancy at birth in Sutton Trinity, in terms of trend and variations in different groups and communities.

Figure 2.1 shows trend of male expectancy in Sutton Trinity from 1995/97 to 2005/07 on a 3-year basis, in comparison with Birmingham and England and shows evidence that whilst male life expectancy has increased in Sutton Trinity over the ten years since 1995, and particularly in the last 6 years.

2.1 Infant mortality

In areas with high infant mortality rates, the life expectancy at birth is highly sensitive to the rate of death in the first few years of life. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is calculated as the number of newborns dying under one year of age in every 1,000 live births during the year, excluding still births.

Figure 2.3 shows trends of IMR in Sutton Trinity, Birmingham, England and the most deprived quintile (i.e. 20%) Super Output Areas (SOAs) in Birmingham (based on Lower Super Output Area level IMD score 2007), from 1999 to 2007.

Figure 2.3 Infant mortality rates per 1,000 births in Sutton Trinity Birmingham, England and the most deprived quintile in Birmingham, 1999-2007

As illustrated in Figure 2.3, in 05/07, the IMR in Sutton Trinity is lower than that of England; whilst IMR in the most deprived quintile is about two folds of England.

• From 99/01 to 05/07, the IMR in Sutton Trinity has decreased by 38% comparatively Birmingham’s IMR which has also decreased.

• The gap between the most deprived quintile SOAs in Birmingham and Sutton Trinity has risen by 13.5% from 5.2 per 1,000 to 5.9 per 1,000. This despite improvements in the lower quintiles IMR

• During the same period, the IMR in England has decreased smoothly from 5.6 to 4.9 (at about 0.1 per year). The gap between Sutton Trinity and England has increased from 0.8 to -1.0 (225%) in the wards favour.

3 Local focus This section investigates into the leading causes of deaths locally.

3.1 Mortality rates on selected diseases Age-specific mortality rate is used to calculate life expectancy at birth. Disease specific standardised mortality rates are investigated into in this part in order to identify leading diseases that contribute to the overall mortality rates in Sutton Trinity.

Table 3.1 shows directly standardized mortality rates for selected conditions in during the period 2005-2007. Percentage of each disease’s rate out of the overall rate is also shown here. According to the figures, cancers, circulatory diseases, and coronary heart disease are the major killers. They make more than 78.24% of the overall DSR. This figure is 1.8% lower than the Birmingham percentage for the three killers but on a par with the PCT wards which range from 72% to 81.6%.
