Lambeth JSNA materials
In 2022 Lambeth produced a health profile of the borough. Section 4 describes how and why the adult population of the borough may change over time.

OHID Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes and Kidney Disease
This guidance is for commissioners, public health directors and others involved in the local planning and provision of services and interventions that support people with cardiovascular disease (CVD) conditions.

OHID NHS Health Check Profile
The NHS Health Check programme aims to help prevent heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease and certain types of dementia. Everyone between the ages of 40 and 74, who has not already been diagnosed with one of these conditions or have certain risk factors, will be invited (once every five years) to have a check to assess their risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and diabetes and will be given support and advice to help them reduce or manage that risk.
