deteriorating, held with established confidence, formed on 5 October 2026 from movements in 2025.
Health measures in North East Derbyshire have been worsening. Deaths before age 75, per 100,000 was 342.93 in 2024, recorded as unfavourable against the usual pattern for its year. Running the other way, adults who are obese was 27.84 in 2024/25 and the suicide rate, per 100,000 8.62 across 2022 to 2024, both favourable. Hospital admissions for COPD, aged 35 and over, per 100,000 stood at 188.61 and adults who are physically active at 64.91. One unfavourable reading against two favourable, with the early-death movement the heavier, holds the view at established.
A view is formed only where the evidence names a figure you can check. Each movement listed as a reason had to be large enough to matter and distinctive in at least one way — unusual against this area's own history, unusual against comparable areas, or sustained over several periods. A movement shared with peers counts for less, because it says something about the country rather than about North East Derbyshire. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.
| Measure | Period | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Adults who are obese | 2024/25 | improving |
| Deaths before age 75, per 100,000 | 2024 | deteriorating |
| Suicide rate, per 100,000 | 2022 - 24 | improving |
These figures carry no defensible direction of their own: a rising house price is good news to an owner and bad news to someone trying to buy, so we do not score one as an improvement. They are shown because they are part of the picture, and they did not decide the view above.
