The Health of the Nation report from CACI and TNS
The HealthACORN classification groups the GB population into 4 groups, 25 types and 60 sub-types. By analysing diet, health and exercise characteristics as well as demographic attributes, HealthACORN provides an in-depth understanding of different communities in every part of the country. The classification names and descriptions have been chosen to be simple and non-judgemental. The Health ACORN Methodology is described in this ducument.
HealthACORN looks at the mix of people within a neighbourhood and identifies four broad kinds of area:
- Group 1 - Existing Problems: High levels of serious illness and poor diet and consumption patterns
- Group 2 - Future Problems: High levels of severely unhealthy lifestyles likely to lead to serious illness
- Group 3 - Possible Future Concerns: Generally good health but with some potentially unhealthy lifestyle traits
- Group 4 - Healthy: Good health with few lifestyle issues
The following documents rank Local Authorities using HealthACORN.
