The most deprived wards in the South of the borough have a higher death rate, and lower life expectancy than the less deprived wards in the North of the borough. The prevalence of diabetes in Brent is high compared to the national average with 4.6% of the population being diagnosed with the condition, although the proportion that are undiagnosed may be closer to 6%. Brent has one of the highest rates of TB in London and in England. Ward Boundaries Borough Boundary KENTON Northwick Park Sudbury Kenton The 2001 Census found 70% of Brent’s population to be in good health, with 21% rated fairly good and 9% as not good. Over the last ten years, rates of deaths from all causes have decreased for both men and women and are lower than the England average. Circulatory diseases, including heart 15 S. KENTON disease, strokes and cancers, are the most common cause of death in Brent. The health status of the Borough is also a reflection of income deprivation with the prevalence of life limiting health conditions and lower life expectancy in the most deprived wards in the south of the Borough. The prevalence of diabetes in Brent is high compared to the national average with 4.6% of the population being diagnosed with the condition. Brent also has one of the highest rates of TB in London and in England. The Department of Health’s 2007 health profile of Brent in 2007 states that on average people live longer in Brent than England overall and female life expectancy is rising faster than in England. However there is a stark difference in the life expectancy within the deprived areas compared to the more affluent areas. These differences can be illustrated by examining male life expectancy along the Bakerloo line where a journey of 3.5 miles takes you from Harlesden which has the lowest life expectancy level for men to South Kenton where life expectancy is over 9 years longer.

Chapter Two A profile of Brent A high proportion of people rate their health as ‘not good’, and diabetes and tuberculosis are higher than the England average with diabetes affecting 1 in 20 people. Approximately 19.6% of Brent’s population are classed as obese which is slightly less than the 22.1% for the rest of England. However, the percentage of children in year 6 who are obese is 22.5% in Brent which is 5% higher than the national average. This places Brent with the 10th highest obesity levels for year 6 in England (compared against 152 PCT areas). The rate of teenage pregnancy in Brent is higher than the national average and the Department of Health have recommended that this, diabetes and tuberculosis are the main priorities for Brent to address. Sport and physical activity can have a huge influence on improving the health of the borough which will in turn help reduce the economic burden put on to the national health service. Accessibility Brent has a very low vehicle ownership; 37.3% of households do not have access to a vehicle and therefore public transport plays a key role in transporting people around the Borough. The Borough has a complex public transport network with 48 daytime bus services and 13 night bus services which are utilised by 30 million people a year, a figure that is growing at more than 5% per annum. Some 26 stations provide access to one or more of the Bakerloo, Jubilee, Metropolitan and Piccadilly London Underground lines and national rail services operated by Chiltern Railways, Silverlink Trains and South Central. There are some areas of Brent which have poor public transport accessibility and these are often areas of high deprivation where car ownership is also low. This includes the St Raphael’s and Brentfield Estates which are severed by the A406 North Circular Road meaning access is restricted and it is compounded by infrequent bus services. A further aspect of accessibility is severance, where major highways or rail corridors create physical and psychological barriers which effectively cut off communities from key services. Key examples of this in Brent are the A406 North Circular Road and the West Coast Mainline railway which both serves the borough. The high speeds and traffic flows of the A406 are both intimidating and limit crossing only to designated controlled points. Vale Farm Sports Centre Map 7: Main bus and rail routes within Brent Bridge Park Community Leisure Centre Willesden Sports Centre Public Transport Accessibility Levels (PTAL) provides a more detailed picture of how accessible different parts of the borough are to the public transport network. The higher PTAL scores (4-6b, yellow to red) indicate areas which are within a short walking distance of one or more forms of public transport interchange. Map 8 on the next page shows that the areas with the highest PTAL scores are Kilburn, parts of Mapesbury, Kensal Green, Harlesden, Sudbury, Wembley Central and Tokyngton.
