Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether his Department holds information on the most prevalent (a) behavioural risk factors, (b) metabolic risk factors and (c) environmental risk factors associated with mortality rates for each region of England in each year for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement.

Public Health England holds time series of relevant data for each region in England dating back to 1990, available to view here:

The contribution to mortality by main risk factors has changed little over the years. These are alcohol, smoking, and poor diet as behavioural risk factors, air pollution and occupational risks as environmental risk factors, and high blood pressure and obesity as metabolic risk factors. Regions do not greatly differ compared to each other.
