public health in an ageing society - an ilc-uk debate
DESCRIPTION
Wednesday 4 December, 9.00 (for 9.30) – 11.30, Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London, W1G 0AE Funded by an unrestricted grant from Sanofi Pasteur MSD The recent public health reforms have now been in action for a few months, with local areas taking advantage of their newfound responsibilities and taking strategic decisions on what their public health focusses should be. Demographic change presents multi-faceted challenges for these decision makers, so how are these new structures responding an ageing society in their public health planning? At this debate, we explored the extent to which the new public health structures in England are able to respond to an ageing population. The debate covered issues such as how public health spending should be allocated across the life-course. With the current climate of concern around intergenerational fairness, particularly across public spending, how can we ensure that the next steps in public health are fair for all age groups? During this debate we heard an overview of the public health changes at a nation level, and then a policy perspective from an ILC-UK speaker on some of the challenges facing the new structures in light of an ageing population. This was followed by a series of experts presenting key examples of important aspects of public health for an ageing society, and how these issues are being addressed thus far by the new structures.TRANSCRIPT

• 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.

Loneliness as a public health issue
![Page 64: Public health in an ageing society - an ILC-UK debate](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/554967ddb4c905525e8b48b1/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
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]
![Page 65: Public health in an ageing society - an ILC-UK debate](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/554967ddb4c905525e8b48b1/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
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
![Page 66: Public health in an ageing society - an ILC-UK debate](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/554967ddb4c905525e8b48b1/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

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
![Page 67: Public health in an ageing society - an ILC-UK debate](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/554967ddb4c905525e8b48b1/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
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)
![Page 68: Public health in an ageing society - an ILC-UK debate](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/554967ddb4c905525e8b48b1/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
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)
![Page 69: Public health in an ageing society - an ILC-UK debate](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/554967ddb4c905525e8b48b1/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
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)
![Page 70: Public health in an ageing society - an ILC-UK debate](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/554967ddb4c905525e8b48b1/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
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)
![Page 71: Public health in an ageing society - an ILC-UK debate](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/554967ddb4c905525e8b48b1/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
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)
![Page 72: Public health in an ageing society - an ILC-UK debate](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/554967ddb4c905525e8b48b1/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
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)

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.

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?
