Key Points:

  • Some people in Scotland experience considerably worse health than others. We also see a lot of health inequality between Scotland and the rest of the UK.

  • Our most common causes of death have been changing. For example, fewer people are dying from coronary heart disease and cancer. At the same time, more people are now dying from Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

  • Scotland’s population is changing. We now have a lot more people aged 65 and over than people under 15.
