Alcohol, drugs, smoking, weight & physical activity

Healthy lifestyle behaviours at all stages of life are key to the development and maintenance of good physical and mental health.  Lifestyle factors such as smoking, substance misuse, poor diet and lack of physical activity are significant contributors to poor health as well as many long-term health conditions including cancers, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This section of the JSNA provides analysis of a number of indicators relating to such factors in order to assist with the identification of local priorities.
