Abstract

Half the targets in The Health of the Nation have already been, or are set to be, achieved by the specified date. Deaths from strokes, smoking, fat consumption, and accidents among elderly people are all falling-but not fast enough to meet targets. Obesity, drinking, skin cancer and smoking among 11 to 15-year-olds are all increasing.
