11Smoking prevalence
Smoking is the biggest cause of preventable
deaths. According to the East of England
lifestyle survey 2009 Great Yarmouth and Waveney
PCT has the highest smoking prevalence 22
compared to regional average of 18. Work is
ongoing to understand variation at smaller area
level (MSOA) Models estimate that smoking
prevalence is thought to be highest in the more
deprived wards

13Mobile Food Store a proposed route through the
south Lowestoft areas
Mrs. Raynor from Lowestoft said I see the
products on display and remember to buy them, I'm
eating more because its fresh and good Hazel
Barnard from Lowestoft said What a boost to
Gunton, no more carrying heavy bags from town.
Good friendly staff, Thank you! The timetable

14NHS health check programme is it worth adopting
a healthy lifestyle?
Not smoking, drinking alcohol in moderation,
eating fruit and vegetables, and being physically
active have a huge effect on your chance of
dying. For a 58 year old over the next 11 years,
with all four healthy behaviours your chance of
dying is 1 in 20. With no healthy behaviours it
is 1 in 4. We aim to target the health checks
to those most at risk of heart attacks and
strokes in those areas shown earlier to help
reduce the life expectancy gap.
