Health of our communities

Our population continues to grow, and people are living longer, which is good news. However, it does mean people are also experiencing more years of illness or disability and need more support to stay well and independent. In the Hywel Dda area, the average age of people is also increasing steadily and nearly a quarter of you are aged over 65. As our population ages, there are more people living with one or more chronic condition. People do not always make the best lifestyle choices, for example in what to eat or how active we are. We think this will increase demand on health and care services in the future.
