• Increasing number of people aged over 65:
2010 4.5m people (1 in 6)
2030 10 m
2050 19 m (1 in 4)
• Health and social care needs increase in older years
UK demographics 2008-30

Role of public health system
• Anticipates changing nature of populations
• Enables wider mitigation of damage to health
• Harnesses evidence, knowledge and technological advances to improve health and wellbeing equitably
• Unites fragmented means of service delivery through good partnership and high quality commissioning
• Secures equitable access to appropriate care
• Achieves impact at scale 12
13
Role of Public Health England
• Articulating an authoritative national voice for public health in England
• Protecting the population from communicable disease and environmental hazards
• Providing knowledge, evidence, intelligence and research
• Influencing through national/international relationships and acting as opinion leaders for health
• Developing the public health specialist workforce
• Providing direct advice and services
13
14
Creating a sustainable approach to health and social care
15
An evidence-based approach
16
E.g. Mapping needs and service usage to deliver equity
North East England work mapping deprivation, service access and admissions for chest pain to plan equitable services and resources.
17
E.g. Commissioning systematic interventions at population scale
• Commissioning high impact interventions with system and scale to improve population level outcomes
• Tracking and evaluating outcomes
18
E.g. Cross-sector work on social determinants of health
Facilitating local government and voluntary sector collaborations on cold homes.
19
Key messages
• Changing demographics require a new approach– Adapting systems to older people (e.g. expectations, new technologies)– Valuing contribution of older people & focus on functionality in later life– Addressing inequalities (e.g. disability, dependency)
• New public health system can facilitate this process– Integrated, cross-sector working– Focus on people, place & outcomes (including life course approach)– Needs-led, evidence-based interventions
• Public Health England will provide evidence, knowledge, advice to the NHS and local government and advocacy to enable more age friendly societal development

Not just for Children.....
• Joint Strategic Needs Assessments should take a life-course approach to Immunisation,
• Health and Wellbeing Boards should ensure that that life-course vaccination is adequately considered as part of health planning and commissioning,
• Commissioning arrangements for immunisation should support the uptake of adult vaccination.

• Prevention programmes are efficacious• Implementation gap
– Falls prevention not a priority– Services not available – Evidence not used or modified
• Training needs to be challenging, progressive & regular• Programmes often too short term
– Refusal/non-adherence=50-90%; prevention not effective?

Loneliness as a public health issue
What is loneliness
• Loneliness: “an individual’s subjective evaluation of his or her social participation or social isolation and is the outcome of …having a mismatch between the quantity and quality of existing relationships on the one hand and relationship standards on the other” [Perlman and Peplau, 1981]• Social or emotional loneliness• Can be transient, situational or chronic
• Social isolation: is objective – a measure of contacts or interactions • Solitude: “Language... has created the word "loneliness" to express the
pain of being alone. And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone.” [Paul Johannes Tillich]
Is loneliness a public health issue?
• Department of Health: “Public health is about helping people to stay healthy, and protecting them from threats to their health”
• Faculty of Public Health:““The science and art of promoting and protecting health and well-being, preventing ill-health and prolonging life through the organised efforts of society”.
So…. Yes• It’s a threat to health• Lonely people struggle to make healthy choices• It requires a whole society response• Linked to a range of other recognised public health issues – e.g. alcohol,
healthy eating etc
www.campaigntoendloneliness.org.uk
Over half (51%) of all people aged 75 and over live alone (ONS, 2010)
A higher % of women than men report feeling lonely “some of the time” or “often” (ONS, 2013)
Loneliness in the UK
Loneliness and health: The evidence• Loneliness and isolation have a negative impact
on health: Research from the United Kingdom• Loneliness increases our risk of depression
(Green et al, 1992)• Loneliness has potentially adverse effects on
biological stress mechanisms, including greater fibrinogen (higher levels are associated with cardiovascular disease) and changes to cortisol levels (Steptoe et al., 2004)
Loneliness and health: The evidence• Loneliness and isolation have a negative impact
on healthResearch from Europe• Loneliness (not social isolation) is linked to an
64% increased risk of developing clinical dementia (Holwerda et al, 2012)
• Adults that feel lonely are more likely to suffer from psychological distress and poor self-rated health (Stickley et al., 2013)
• People that feel lonely are more likely to rate their health as poor (Stickley et al., 2013; Kaasa, 1998)
Loneliness and health: The evidence• Loneliness and isolation have a negative impact
on healthResearch from North America• Weak social connections are an equivalent risk
factor for early mortality to smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and have a great impact than other risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity. (Holt-Lunstad, 2010)
• Loneliness increases the risk of high blood pressure, and this association increases with age (Hawkley et al, 2010)
Loneliness and health: The evidence• Loneliness and isolation contribute to harmful
health behavioursResearch from the United Kingdom• Loneliness can make older people uniquely
vulnerable to alcohol problems: alcohol may be used as a coping mechanism for loneliness, and may be linked to boredom (Wadd et al., 2011)
• Our relationships and friendships have an influence on our diet: Older adults who live alone and have infrequent contact with friends eat fewer vegetables each day. (Conklin et al., 2013)
Loneliness and health: The evidence• Loneliness and isolation contribute to harmful
health behavioursResearch from Australia • Lonely adults are more likely to be smokers and
more likely to be overweight (Lauder et al., 2006.)
Research from North America• Lonely adults are less likely to engage in physical
activity and exercise (Hawkley et al., 2009; Newall, et al.,2013)
What does a public health response to loneliness look like?
• Targeting health and wellbeing boards to put the issue on the agenda
• Need a whole community response with focus on both prevention and “cure”
• Some population-wide measures, and some targeted interventions
• Evidence based approaches – are group based, centre around people’s interests and involve older people in their design and delivery
• Build into plans for whole community – but not just about being “age friendly”, also about how other interventions are delivered (e.g. social care, but also alcohol services etc)

Garden cities: health and prosperity
• Helps planners and public health practitioners understand implications of NHS and planning reforms.
• Maps out areas of overlap in planning and public health policy.
• Suggests ways in which the two professions could collaborate.
• Launched July 2012
Reuniting Health with Planning (Phase 1)
The built environment is a major factor in the ‘wider determinants’ of health.
‘Too often we intervene too late in the pathway to ill health and forget that health starts where we live, work and play.’
Institute for Health Equity
Reuniting Health with Planning (Phase 1)
Place-based approaches to health objectives
Reuniting Health with Planning (Phase 2)
Local planning, local health priorities
Place-based approaches in:
Stockport
Manchester
Knowsley
Hertfordshire
Lincolnshire
Bristol
Newham
West Midlands (published November 2013)
Reuniting Health with Planning (Phase 2)
Lincolnshire:
• Number of people aged 65+ expected to double by 2030
• Parts of the county will have very few people of working age
• This will have a significant impact on transport, services, etc.
Reuniting Health with Planning (Phase 2)
Knowsley - roundtable theme:
‘Take a co-ordinated approach to housing and health interventions across new and existing properties in Knowsley, espcially for an ageing population.’
NPPF
Planning reform: National Planning Policy Framework (2012)
‘Local planning authorities should... plan for a mix of housing based on current and future demographic trends, market trends and the needs of different groups in the community... such as... families with children, older people, people with disabilities...’
enable communities to achieve lasting growth in a way that meets all of their needs: economic, social and environmental.
A few final thoughts:
• We need to build 240,000 new homes a year.
• Building homes designed for older people might free up larger homes (which elderly often struggle to maintain & can cause poor health).
• But – new generations of old people will demand well-designed, desirable homes if they are to be tempted to move.
• Anecdotal evidence suggests some planning authorities refuse developments aimed at older people as they think they will be a burden on social services.

Older drivers in GB
Over 4 million people over the age of 70 hold a full valid driving licence
Older drivers up the age of 80 have collision rates that are comparable to those of middle-aged drivers.
The increased frailty of older drivers means that they are more likely to be killed or injured in collisions than their younger counterparts
It has been estimated that 34% of older drivers give up driving too early, with only 10% giving up later than they should do.

Thank you
Panel Debate and Q&A• How are the new structures responding to the varied public
health challenges of an ageing population?
• What should be their key focuses in order to ameliorate some of the health challenges an older age structure presents?
• Are the new public health structures focussing spending fairly across different generations?
• How should public health spending be allocated across the life course?
• How can we best evaluate, gather and disseminate evidence about what works in public health?
