Obesity There are many routes by which obesity is a detriment to wellbeing. There is an association between

mortality and obesity, with obesity decreasing life expectancy by up to nine years. It causes insulin

insensitivity, which is an important causal factor in diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and stroke.

Obesity is associated with the development of hormone sensitive cancers, the increased mechanical load

increases liability to osteoarthritis and sleep apnoea, and it also carries psychosocial penalties.

Obesity levels in Round Green for both children and adults were around the same as the average in Luton.

Life expectancy Life expectancy at birth is useful as a summary measure of all-cause mortality as it is a fundamental and

probably the oldest measure of the health status of the population. It represents the cumulative effect of the

prevalence of risk factors, prevalence and severity of disease, and the effectiveness of interventions and

treatment. Differences in levels of all-cause mortality reflect health inequalities between different population

groups e.g. between genders, social classes and ethnic groups.

The bar chart below shows the life expectancy of the population in each ward in Luton by gender. This is a

five year average, using data from 2010 to 2014. The average life expectancy in Luton for females is 82.4

and male 78.5. Round Green was higher with 83.6 and 79.3 respectively..


Causes of death The chart below shows the causes of death by disease. This data is a five year count between 2010 and

2014. The highest number of deaths recorded in Round Green was cancer, followed closely by circulatory

disease.

Occupancy levels The bedroom occupancy rating provides a measure of whether a household's accommodation is

overcrowded or under occupied. The number of bedrooms required (based on a standard formula) is

subtracted from the number of bedrooms present to obtain the occupancy rating. An occupancy rating of -1

implies that a household has one less bedroom than required, whereas +1 implies that they have one more

bedroom than the standard requirement.

In Luton, 15.4 per cent of properties are classified as overcrowded (with a bedroom occupancy rating of -1

or lower). This is compared to 6.5 per cent of properties classified as overcrowded in the East of England

region and 8.7 per cent in England.

The chart below shows the wards in Luton with the highest proportion of overcrowded households; Round

In Luton, 23.7 per cent of properties are under occupied with a bedroom occupancy rating of +1 and 38.7

per cent with a bedroom occupancy rating of +2.

This is compared to 22.0 per cent and 54.4 per cent in the East of England region and 22.9 per cent

and 49.7 per cent in England.
