Individual wealth plays a role in a person’s ability to live a healthy lifestyle
but the environment they were in also made a great difference
according to the Australian Health Policy Collaboration
LIVING in leafy inner Brisbane could be the best thing you do for your health
according to new Health Tracker findings released today
The Health Tracker by the Australian Health Policy Collaboration found significant levels of health risk in many outer Brisbane suburbs while residents in wealthier suburbs had lower levels of obesity
Suburbs where residents were the most physically active were Brisbane City
while Greater Brisbane’s lowest levels of smokers were in Chapel Hill
St Lucia was the healthiest Brisbane suburb when it came to body size
with 44.8 per cent of residents overweight or obese – the lowest level in Brisbane
Others around that same level were Brisbane City
Brisbane edges, Sydney, Melbourne
Is this a renovator or detonator?
RBA to stay in limbo this year
Brisbane City residents were the most physically active along with those of Kangaroo Point
This apartment as 4704/71 Eagle Street is for sale for $1.75 million
Compare that to suburbs with the highest rates of smokers – Inala
Beenleigh and Eagleby where one in four adults smoked; or the highest rates of sedentary lifestyles – Lockyer Valley East (78.5 per cent)
New Chum and Redbank Plains also had the highest level of overweight or obese residents (76.9 per cent)
The only high risk activity where those in wealthier inner Brisbane suburbs had much higher scores than those on the outer rim was in alcohol consumption
Ashgrove and Bardon had the highest incidences of alcohol consumption at levels considered to be risky to health (24 per cent)
while the lowest level was 7.7 per cent out of Algester
AHPC director Professor Rosemary Calder told The Courier-Mail that while individual wealth played a role in a person’s ability to live a healthy lifestyle
the environment they were in also made a great difference
“Communities that are newer outer suburbs commonly don’t have good public transport so they are much less likely to walk from home to public transport and much more likely to go in a car
In fact the rates of car ownership in new communities are very high,” she said
St Lucia was Brisbane’s healthiest suburb when it came to weight
“The ability to be active is significantly the outcome of your options for walking
which are higher if you live by the seaside or in the “leafy suburbs” which by the use of the term we know are conducive to being outdoors.”
Professor Calder said researchers found that the better resourced the community was
the better the environment and health outcomes
“We know the wealthier leafy suburbs have been well resourced for a long time
We also know that having more disposable income gives you more choices.”
She said personal wealth was a barrier for many people
but “the rest of it is where you live and how well resourced your community is”
“You’re more likely to see private gyms and yoga classes in wealthier suburbs
In communities where there is lower less individual wealth
there’s much more likely to be fast food outlets than gyms
We know that there are children that cannot afford to ride to school because families can’t afford a bicycle and club sport is expensive with uniforms and members.”
Chapel Hill has the lowest level of smokers in Brisbane
along with Fig Tree Pocket and Kenmore at just 7.9 per cent
She said there was diversity in all suburbs but increased wealth and levels of investment in communities could vastly improve health in the outer suburbs
both at the individual and community level
there is likely to be increasing levels of health
Again much of that is about the environment
People don’t move in with greater income levels and just live
She said good health was not just about health services but required support systems that involved urban planning
“Health is everybody’s business and these health risk factors affect our workforce
and that’s important for our national economy.”
