The health of the population in Kensington and Chelsea - long profile

Populations
Kensington and Chelsea Primary Care Trust (PCT) covers five square miles and has the same boundaries as the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC). There are currently twenty-one electoral wards, the boundaries of which are being altered in May 2002.

Kensington and Chelsea's resident population is currently estimated to be 168,000 and the daytime population is at least one third larger than this. The borough has experienced one of the fastest population growths in England in the last decade. This trend is not expected to continue at such a rate. Population turnover is high.

The population is characterised by a relatively small proportion of children and older people and a comparatively large number of young adults.

Ethnicity
Kensington and Chelsea is culturally and ethnically diverse. Recent figures project that the proportion of the population from black and minority ethnic (BME) groups had risen to 20% by 2000, and will continue to increase. Large variations exist between wards, ranging from 37% in Golborne in the north to 6% in both Cheyne and Royal Hospital in the south. More than 40% of Kensington & Chelsea residents were born outside the UK and over one hundred languages are currently spoken by children in the borough's schools.

Wider Determinants of Health
According to the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2000 (published by the Department of the Environment, Transport & the Regions), one third of the wards in Kensington and Chelsea are classified as having levels of deprivation that are higher than the national average, with Golborne and St Charles in the north of the borough falling into the 10% most deprived wards in the country.

Unemployment rates in Kensington and Chelsea are half that of Inner London, although there is considerable variation between wards, from 11% in Golborne in the north to 1% in Hans Town in the south.

Average house prices in the area are twice that of London and five times that of England, opening a gap between the more prosperous, who can afford housing and the most vulnerable, who qualify for social housing.

Child Health
Kensington and Chelsea has one of the lowest birth rates in the country. Teenage conception rates are also much lower than the London and England averages, although rates are high in specific wards. Mothers in Kensington and Chelsea give birth, on average, at an older age than nationally; 30% of births in 1999 were to women aged 35 and older which was one and a half times the London rate and double the national rate. Abortion rates in the former Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster (KCW) Health Authority area are among the highest in the country.

There is a particularly high incidence of multiple births in Kensington and Chelsea; in 2000, 1 in 40 births were multiple compared to 1 in 66 for London. Multiple births are more common in women undergoing assisted conception services (e.g. IVF), in older women and in some minority ethnic groups.

During recent years, the former KCW Health Authority has had one of the highest infant mortality/stillbirth rates in England. Figures for 2000 suggest a drop in rates in line with London and national averages. This trend will need to be monitored in order to ensure that rates are falling.

Levels of dental decay in the former KCW Health Authority are almost twice the national average for five year olds. Immunisation uptake for the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine has been considerably below national levels for a number of years.

Adult Health
Kensington and Chelsea has one of the lowest death rates in the country. However, while rates are decreasing in all wards, evidence suggests that the death rate is declining more slowly in the more deprived wards, meaning that the gap between the healthiest and unhealthiest wards in the borough is growing.

Cancer and cardiovascular disease were the cause of more than half of all deaths to people aged under 75 years in Kensington & Chelsea in 2000, although in comparison with London and England, rates were low. However, screening uptake rates for breast and cervical cancer in the area are particularly low.

Premature death rates from heart disease, stroke and lung cancer are higher in the more deprived wards.

Premature deaths in Kensington and Chelsea from liver disease, mental disorders, suicides and infectious diseases are all disproportionately high for men; premature death from infectious diseases is disproportionately high for women. The rate of hospital admissions for schizophrenia in Kensington and Chelsea is nearly twice the London average.

Older People
Kensington and Chelsea's population aged over 65 is small relative to London and England and it is decreasing. At the 1991 census, 46% of people aged over 65 in Kensington and Chelsea lived alone. The proportion was even higher in some of the more deprived wards.

The emergency hospital admission rate for the former KCW Health Authority in 1999/00 for people aged over 75 was the lowest in London and Kensington and Chelsea has one of the lowest rates of admission to permanent residential/nursing home care in London.
