Life expectancy

Why is this important?

Life expectancy and healthy life expectancy are extremely important summary measures of overall population health. The Marmot Review, Fair Society, Healthy Lives, demonstrates clear and significant links between avoidable differences in health outcomes and deprivation, where people experiencing multiple deprivation not only living shorter lives, but spend a greater portion of their shorter lives with a disability or in poor health. As a Marmot city, Coventry has adopted and embedded the principles of Marmot, tackling the social conditions that can lead to health inequalities, and working to improve the areas in which people are born, grow, live, work and age.

What is the local picture? How does it compare?

The life expectancy at birth for residents of Tile Hill is lower than the averages for Coventry overall. There are health inequalities across Coventry whereby areas with higher levels of deprivation tend to have lower life expectancy. Tile Hill is one of these areas. The data in the table below shows the life expectancy figures for the Tile Hill MSOA area, data is only available to this level, not for neighbourhoods smaller than this. The MSOA covers a wider area than that used for this profile in general, it includes parts that are less deprived; as such life expectancy for the area may be even lower than shown in the tables, with a bigger gap to the city average, particularly in the most deprived parts in Tile Hill North.

Life expectancy at birth for residents of Tile Hill is shown as 80.7 years for females and 75.8 years for males. In comparison, the broader Coventry area has a life expectancy of 82.1 years for females and 78.1 years for males. The gender disparity in life expectancy is notable in both Tile Hill and Coventry, with females living longer than males.

Life expectancy is a statistic giving a high-level picture of the health of Coventry residents and should be used with care in understanding likely life spans for people; excess deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic will have had a negative impact on life expectancy statistics but this may not have a permanent impact. Whilst this data includes 2020 and the pandemic will have undoubtedly affected mortality statistics, life expectancy increases had already stalled before 2020.  

Health inequalities across the city mean that people in more deprived parts of the city not only live shorter lives, but also spend a greater proportion of their shorter lives in poor health, and it is shown here for Tile Hill. The table below illustrates that males and females from Tile Hill have a wider ‘window of need’ than the average for Coventry overall, and significantly wider than the national average. The ‘window of need’ is the gap between healthy life expectancy and life expectancy, it is the average number of years that a person can expect to live with poor health, during which they will be likely to need support from the health and care system.  

Life expectancy at birth and healthy life expectancy at birth for residents of Tile Hill and Coventry present notable disparities. The table below illustrates this for the period 2009 – 2013, which is the latest period for which local healthy life expectancy data is available. The ‘window of need’ for people living in Tile Hill is wider at 21.2 years for females and 18.7 years for males, compared to Coventry’s 20.3 years for females and 16.1 years for males.

Premature mortality (deaths amongst residents aged under 75 years) is considerably higher in Tile Hill than the city overall and national average. Premature mortality rates, shown in the table below for the 5-year period 2016 to 2020, are significantly higher than the city average in Tile Hill for all major causes, amongst the highest in the city for all causes overall, and for all cancers and for causes considered preventable (deaths from causes which could be avoided by public health or primary care interventions).

The overall premature mortality rate (SMR), that being all deaths under the age of 75, in Coventry is 116.9 and notably higher in Tile Hill at 159.5. An SMR is a standardised mortality ratio, a rate that takes into account different age structures of the populations of different areas.  An SMR of 100 represents a mortality rate the same as the national average given the age structure of the population. Specifically, deaths from all cancers in Tile Hill are also elevated at 147.5, compared to 108.7 in Coventry. Tile Hill shows particularly high rates for deaths amongst under 75s from causes considered preventable, with an SMR of 179.7, which starkly contrasts with Coventry’s 120.1. The disparity continues, although less stark, with deaths from circulatory diseases, Tile Hill's SMR stood at 137.4, against Coventry's 120.1.

*SMRs are age standardised death rates that allow mortality rates for areas with different age structures to be compared. ** Deaths which could be avoided by public health or primary care interventions

What else is happening? What else can be done?

Preventable deaths can be avoided by addressing the social conditions that lead to poor health, such as people’s prospects and opportunities; housing and environment; as well as behavioural and lifestyle changes. These are explored throughout this JSNA.

Health protection

Why is this important?

Health Protection is a term used to cover a set of activities within public health. It is defined as protecting individual, groups and populations from single cases of infectious disease, incidents and outbreaks, and non-infectious environmental hazards such as chemicals and radiation. Monitoring health protection coverage helps to identify possible drops in immunity before levels of disease rise. 

Before the introduction of widespread immunisation and vaccinations, infectious and communicable diseases (that is, diseases that can spread from one person or living organism to another) were a major and widespread cause of death and permanent disability, especially among children. 

To stop the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases and ensure herd immunity, it is important to maintain 95% vaccination coverage. Monitoring health protection coverage helps to identify possible drops in immunity before levels of disease rise. The Covid-19 pandemic has underlined the importance of health protection and vaccination. Data on Covid-19 for this area was not yet available at time of writing this profile. 

What is the local picture? How does it compare?

The COVID-19 pandemic changed how we live, affecting our health and altering many parts of our daily lives. Like every area, many people from Tile Hill contracted COVID-19 during the pandemic. With a total population of 6,548, there were 2,217 reported cases of COVID-19 amongst Tile Hill residents between March 2020 and 31st May 2022, translating to a case rate of 338.6 per 1,000 residents compared to the overall city rate for this period of 324.8. This rate is slightly above average compared to other areas within Coventry.

We should be mindful when comparing the area’s case rate to other areas, these official cases do not represent all cases of course, not all people who had COVID-19 in this period will have taken a test or reported its result and some people were asymptomatic so were unaware they had the virus. Therefore, these figures do not count total prevalence, and it is difficult to conclude from differing case rates, it may be a result of different testing and reporting rates.    

Many people suffer from ongoing symptoms, from ‘long COVID’; while we don’t know how many local residents suffer from this and if it higher or lower than average, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates the prevalence of self-reported long COVID at 2.92% of all people living in private households in the UK in March 2023.   

The Standardised Mortality Ratio (SMR) for COVID-19 in Tile Hill from 2020 to 2022 places this area among those with a higher death rate from COVID-19 in Coventry.  During this period, there were 29 reported deaths where the underlying cause was COVID-19, in the context of a total 240 deaths from all causes recorded amongst all Tile Hill residents.

An SMR is an age standardised rate, it takes account of differing age profile and adjusts, allowing fair comparison of mortality rates between areas with different population age profiles. The SMR for COVID-19 in Tile Hill from 2020 to 2022 was recorded at 157.5, indicating a higher mortality rate compared to other areas in Coventry. The SMR being over 100 means that death rates were 57.5% higher than the national average, after the age structure of the Tile Hill population was adjusted for. The death rate is above the average for Coventry, amongst the higher rates in the city. Across the country there was patterns whereby more deprived areas experienced higher death rates, and as Tile Hill is amongst the more deprived parts of Coventry, having a higher COVID-19 death rate follows this pattern.  

Coventry administered hundreds of thousands of COVID-19 vaccines, providing significant protection against severe illness and death and safeguarding the health service. Vaccination rates amongst Tile Hill residents are slightly above the average across Coventry, although many remain unvaccinated.  By December 2023 COVID-19 vaccine coverage for individuals aged 12 and older was 74.2% for the first dose and 70.0% for the second dose where the Coventry as whole was 68.1% and 63.3% respectively. For those aged 65 and older, the coverage was 93.7% having received the first dose and 92.6% the second dose compared to coverage across all Coventry resident aged 65+ was 93.1% for dose 1 and 92.4% for dose 2.

The pandemic had many impacts, not all directly on residents’ physical health. The restrictions due to the pandemic and the lockdowns may have had an impact on different aspects of health, not least mental health. The ONS conduct an annual survey where they ask people about their personal wellbeing, it indicates increased levels of anxiety amongst Coventry’s population during the pandemic. The % who gave a score indicating high levels of anxiety increased from 20.6% in 2019/20 to 26.9% in 2020/21. Data on this for Tile Hill residents can be read below. 

Responses to questions in the Coventry Household Survey 2022 give indications as to the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the lives of people from Tile Hill.  Participants in the survey were asked how worried they were about the effects of COVID-19 on their financial situation, diet, mental health, physical health, and feelings of loneliness. On a scale of 0-10, those who scored 7 or higher are classified as 'worried' in the statistics presented below.

The indications of the impact on Tile Hill residents compared to the average for all Coventry residents varies. For financial impact and impact on loneliness, the data indicates perhaps slightly less of an impact on Tile Hill residents compared to average.  21% of respondents indicated that COVID-19 had an impact on their financial situation (Coventry average 40%). 21% of residents reported that COVID-19 has impacted their feelings of loneliness (Coventry average 28%).

For other aspects the experience in Tile Hill is similar to average. 21% of respondents indicated that COVID-19 affected their diet (Coventry average 22%) and 31% of respondents in Tile Hill said that COVID-19 impacted their physical health, reflecting the same trend observed at the city level (Coventry average 31%).  The biggest impact was on mental health, 40% of respondents in Tile Hill said they were worried about the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic had on their mental health (Coventry average 38%).

Overall, there are indications that rates of mental ill health are higher in Tile Hill compared to the average for Coventry, mental wellbeing is a concern in Tile Hill.  The latest data reported by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, based on GP data for the year 2021/22, indicates an 18.4% prevalence of depression recorded for adults aged 18 and over registered at GPs in Tile Hill. This is notably higher than the Coventry average at 11.9% and amongst the highest rates in the city.  However, there is a range of proportions by GP practice within the ward, from 17.8% to 18.5%. Additionally, the proportion of patients at GP practices in the area who have been diagnosed with specific mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder, and other psychoses, is higher than the city average at 1.05% compared to 0.95% across the city overall.

As part of the 2022 Household Survey, residents were asked seven questions from the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS) regarding their recent feelings of optimism, usefulness, relaxation, problem-solving, clarity of thought, closeness to others, and decision-making ability. These responses were scored and aggregated into a single wellbeing score. 27% of respondents from Tile Hill had a score that indicates relatively low mental well-being, whereas a lower proportion of all respondents across Coventry scored this lowly, a city average of 15%.

In Till Hill uptake rates for various childhood vaccinations are generally better than the Coventry average, and often above national averages.  Many of them, however, remain below the desired 95% threshold.

Data for 2021/22, based on children registered at local practices, are presented below.

• DTaP/IPV/Hib Vaccination: For one-year-olds, the uptake of the DTaP/IPV/Hib vaccination, which guards against five serious childhood diseases, varies from 92.1% to 94.8%. Although these rates are above the city average (90.3%), they still do not meet the 95% target.
• Rotavirus Vaccine: The uptake of the rotavirus vaccine, which protects against gastroenteritis in one-year-olds, ranges from 90.7% to 92.1%. This is higher than both the Coventry city average of 88.5% and the national rate of 89.9%.
• MMR Vaccination for 2-Year-Olds: The MMR vaccination uptake for 2-year-olds in Till Hill ranges from 95.8% to 96.8%, significantly surpassing Coventry's overall uptake rate of 88.5% and the national rate of 89.2%.
• First Dose of MMR for 5-Year-Olds: The first dose MMR uptake for 5-year-olds ranges from 97.1% to 98.5%, exceeding both the city's average of 92.9% and the national rate of 93.4%.
• Second Dose of MMR for 5-Year-Olds: Uptake rates for the second dose of MMR in 5-year-olds are lower than those for the first dose, ranging from 91.2% to 95.6%. These rates are, however, still higher than the city average of 84.6% and the national rate of 85.7%.

According to 2022-2023 data, uptake rates amongst various cohorts of residents eligible to receive the annual seasonal flu vaccine in Tile Hill are generally better than the city average but still mostly below national average. The vaccine uptake rates for this area’s GPs, for Coventry overall and England for 2022/23 can be seen in the table below.

HIV remains an important public health concern in Coventry, with some areas in Tile Hill having higher-than-average rates. The prevalence of diagnosed HIV is higher than the national average in Coventry, and rates are higher than the national average in Tile Hill.  In 2021, the diagnosed HIV prevalence rate in 2021 was 3.2 per 1,000 compared to 2.3 per 1,000 in England, making Coventry the 32nd highest prevalence out of 150 local authority areas. In 2021, the diagnosed HIV prevalence rate in Tile Hill was between 2 to 5 per 1,000 residents, which is higher than other areas of the city.

The demand for health and care services is expected to increase as the city’s population grows and ages. To manage this growth there is a need to shift the emphasis to proactive and preventative care. This means ensuring people have better general health regardless of where they live, requiring fewer visits to hospital and shorter stays if they need inpatient care; and remodelling urgent and emergency and planned care so that it can cater to the expected increase in demand.

What is the local picture? How does it compare?

In Tile Hill there are two GP surgeries and residents have relatively good access to GPs services; most live within a short walk of a surgery and the ratio of patients to staff in these surgeries is relatively good.  The map below illustrates the location of GP practices in around the Tile Hill area, the area in the middle inside the red boundary. The darkest green areas illustrate neighbourhoods that are within a three-minute walk of a GP surgery whereas the lightest yellow represents a 15-minute walk, the white areas are further than a 15 minute walk away. It shows that many Tile Hill residents are within a 3 minute walk from their nearest GP surgery, most live less than a 10 minute walk away and all are within a 15 minute walk. When compared to GP coverage across the whole city, the proximity to GP is relatively good in Tile Hill; many areas of Coventry are more than 15 minutes’ walk away from a GP surgery. People living in Tile Hill South live slightly further away from a GP than those in the north of the area.

Furthermore, the number of staff at local GP is relatively high (as of May 2023). The number of staff including doctors, nurses and other direct patient care staff totals 23 across the practices located in the area. When comparing this to the number of patients registered at the practices, this amounts to 17.3 direct patient care staff per 10,000 patients and 14.2 full time equivalent staff (FTE) per 10,000. This is better than the average across Coventry overall, there are 11.0 direct patient care staff and 8.3 FTEs per 10,000 of the registered population at all Coventry GPs.

There are no pharmacies located in the Tile Hill area we are focusing on, so people living here have to rely on pharmacies in neighbouring areas. The maps below, like the GP map above, illustrates the areas within a 3 minute walk of a pharmacy in dark green and areas with a 15 minute walk in yellow; it shows most of Tile Hill in white, indicating people live further away. The first map shows that large parts of the city have better coverage of pharmacies than Tile Hill.

Access to the local hospital is also less easy for Tile Hill residents compared to other parts of Coventry. Tile Hill being in the west of Coventry compared to The University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire in the east of Coventry at Walsgrave, means local residents live further away from a hospital than most other residents of the city. The DHSC Shape Place tool, used for the maps above, illustrates that people living in Tile Hill live about one hour away from the hospital by public transport.

Lower than average car ownership amongst Tile Hill residents makes the distances to pharmacies and the hospital more of a barrier. More than a third of households in Tile Hill have no access to a car or van, 36.9%, notably higher than the Coventry average of 27.6%.

We can understand satisfaction with GPs in Coventry by examining responses to the national GP patient survey by Coventry patients annually between 2019 and 2023. The survey shows better than average overall satisfaction levels among respondents registered at the two GP practices located in Tile Hill. The CQC rating for both GPs are “Good”. Using the latest GP survey data, we can assess patient satisfaction based on three key questions: overall experience, obtaining an appointment via telephone, and satisfaction with appointment lead times. In the 2023 survey, when asked, "Overall, how would you describe your experience of your GP practice?" 79% of respondents registered at local practices rated their experience as good or very good, better than the average across all Coventry GPs of 71%. Overall satisfaction is not lower than pre-pandemic levels, equal to 2019 levels when it was also 79% - whereas across Coventry and England overall satisfaction in 2023 was lower than in 2019.

For access to appointments, satisfaction levels or more around average.  When asked, "Generally, how easy is it to get through to someone at your GP practice on the phone?", in 2023 only 56% of respondents felt it was easy, similar to the city overall at 59% but higher than 50% for England overall. Regarding the question, "How satisfied are you with the general practice appointment times that are available to you?" 58% of Tile Hill respondents rated their satisfaction as very good or good in the 2023 survey, the same as the city average.

What else is happening? What else can be done?

A social gradient approach focusing on people’s prospects and opportunities, housing and environment and lifestyle factors can help improve outcomes, reduce inequality and reducing premature mortality.

The citywide JSNA identified that a culturally competent approach that recognises and makes best use of the assets of the city’s diverse communities is essential. This includes working with local community and religious groups to encourage take-up of vaccination, diagnosis and screening programmes

As part of the Adult Social Care Service, the council are working more closely with other organisations to improve the outcomes for adults. The Improving Lives programme is a partnership programme, led by Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care System, bringing together University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire, Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust and the Council to work as one service. It aims to enhance patient experiences, prevent hospital admissions, and improve hospital discharge processes. The program focuses on effective care through three sub-programs: Interfaces, Hospital Processes at UHCW, and One Coventry Integrated Team. Its key goals are to promote independent living and simplify care delivery through partner collaboration.

Working together in partnership is vital to delivering services to residents. The Working Together Group; an alliance of CWPT, VSCE, and Primary Care in Coventry and Warwickshire, aims to strengthen partnership working within the voluntary, community, faith and not for profit social enterprise sector.

Healthcare pressures, particularly in rapidly growing areas, are a concern to residents in the area. As populations increase, local health services often struggle to keep up with rising demand. This leads to longer wait times, reduced access to primary care, and overburdened facilities, which disproportionately affects vulnerable groups such as the elderly, low-income families, and people with chronic health conditions. Addressing these pressures requires a multifaceted approach, including investment in healthcare infrastructure, hiring more medical professionals, and improving access to preventive care, especially in areas experiencing rapid population growth.

Lifestyles

Individual behaviours, such as eating enough fruits and vegetables, smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity can affect health. These lifestyle behaviours are strongly influenced by the environment in which people live. For example, people living in a ‘food desert’, with limited access to affordable and healthy food, are more likely to eat unhealthily; an unsafe environment is likely to discourage people from walking or cycling; and social and cultural influences, including friendship groups, advertising and media, play an important role in determining people’s lifestyles. 

These lifestyle risk factors – poor diet, physical inactivity, excessive alcohol consumption and smoking – are all linked to ill health and premature death. Having a combination of risk factors contributes to greater ill health. People facing poorer social circumstances are more at risk of having multiple risk factors, exacerbating avoidable differences in health. 

What is the local picture? How does it compare? 

Survey data indicates that a higher-than-average proportion of Tile Hill residents are inactive, not regularly doing any everyday activity, although the prevalence of more intensive physical activity amongst the local population is more around average for the city. The Coventry Household Survey 2022 asked residents about how often they take part in three different levels of intensity of physical activity, from the lowest intensive ‘everyday activity’ (such as active travel or gardening) to ‘active recreation’ (such as recreational walking or cycling), to the most intensive activity, sport participation. 21% of Tile Hill residents surveyed said they do not engage in any everyday activity, which is higher than the Coventry average of 11%. The survey also tells us that 27% of Tile Hill residents do not engage in any active recreation, similar to the Coventry average of 24%; and 40% of Tile Hill residents do not participate in any sports, similar to the Coventry average of 41%.

While the importance of eating healthy food is recognised by most residents, there are indications that aspects of the diet of Tile Hill residents are a concern. According to the 2022 Household Survey data, 85% of respondents from Tile Hill agreed that it is important to eat healthily, this is lower than the Coventry average of 93%. A low proportion of residents said that they eat at least five servings of fruit or vegetables in a typical day, a small minority at only 6%, and this is notably lower than the average across Coventry overall of 21%. On a more positive note, Tile Hill residents are less likely to regularly eat takeaways than the Coventry average. The proportion of residents who eat takeaway once or twice a week or more in Tile Hill was surveyed at 17%, lower than the Coventry average of 28%; and this is improving - the 2018 Household Survey found 26% of Tile Hill residents ate takeaway food at least once or twice a week and this was 36% for Coventry.

Smoking rates in Tile Hill are around average, and there are indications of a decline in smoking rates from 2018 to 2022. In the Household Survey 2022, 10% of respondents said they are smokers of tobacco products, compared to the Coventry average of 11%. This percentage is lower than in the 2018 survey, in which 14% of Tile Hill residents said they smoked, compared to the city rate of 18% in 2018. 10% of residents use e-cigarettes compared to the 7% of Coventry as whole.

Smoking has been linked to causing cancer, heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung diseases. It can also affect the respiratory and circulatory system.

Survey data indicates that the proportion of Tile Hill residents who drink alcohol regularly is not significantly different from the Coventry average. However, rates of hospital admissions due to alcohol related conditions are high, alcohol appears to be having a disproportionate impact on health in Tile Hill. In the 2022 Coventry Household Survey 21% of respondents from Tile Hill indicated that they drink alcohol more than once a week and out of those that do drink alcohol, 13% drink more than 2-3 units at least twice per week. The Coventry city average for the same indicators is 25% and 24% respectively.

Alcohol consumption plays a role in hospital admissions and deaths from various conditions. The table below shows rates of hospital admission due to alcohol related admissions, amongst Tile Hill residents and for all Coventry residents, between 2016/17 and 2020/21, presented as Standardised Admission Ratios (SARs) (calculated to adjust for different age structure of populations). It shows SARs for numbers of admissions due to conditions that are ‘broadly’ alcohol attributable, including any health issue that can be partially or fully attributed to alcohol use, either directly or indirectly, and admissions due to conditions that are ‘narrowly’ alcohol attributable, a more specific subset of health conditions and diseases that are directly and primarily caused by alcohol consumption. Broadly and narrowly alcohol attribute admission rates are significantly higher than the Coventry average in Tile Hill, particularly high for admissions due to the broad definition, one of the highest rates in the city. The SAR is 204.4 means that admission rates are more than double (104.4% higher) the national average.

Using the latest National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) data for the three years covering 2019/20 to 2021/22, childhood obesity rates in Tile Hill are higher than the average rates across Coventry for reception-aged children and slightly lower for year 6 children. In Tile Hill, 12.3% of reception-aged children (4-5 years) were classified as obese, compared to 10.8% for Coventry overall. 23.2% of children measured in school year 6 (aged 10-11 years) in Tile Hill were classified as obese, compared to the Coventry city average of 24.8%. The data indicates that the children are becoming increasingly obese as they get older.

The obesity (including severe obesity) rates are listed in the table below:

What else is happening? What else can be done?

Services in the area work well together to provide support and projects for vulnerable groups. Coventry Citizen’s Advice deliver projects to support people affected by Cancer. The Macmillan project delivers essential benefits advice services to people affected by cancer through a new model of integrated support, the Major Trauma project supports those in hospital who have suffered major trauma and the TB/HIV project is directed at individuals who have TB/HIV.

To address health inequalities and establish an environment that promotes and preserves good health, it is important to acknowledge that lifestyle factors are rooted in socioeconomic conditions. Tile Hill has an abundance of groups working in the area to provide support to residents. It is important to continue to address access to affordable; lowering risky behaviours by changing social norms and connecting people to peer support groups, such as encouraging them to use health check services, sexual health check services, stop smoking services and improving their access to drop-in sessions for psychological therapy and child clinics in the neighbourhood.
