Abstract:
This report collates a range of routinely collected data sources with a view to:
1. Estimating the prevalence of conditions arising in the perinatal period (e.g. preterm births, congenital and chromosomal anomalies) which may lead to greater health and disability support service demand during childhood and adolescence
2. Identifying the numbers of children and young people with specific chronic conditions and disabilities, who are accessing secondary healthcare services
3. Reviewing the distribution of overweight and obesity and its determinants (nutrition, physical activity) in children and young people
In addition, two issues were selected for more in-depth review by participating DHBs at the beginning of the year, with one of these issues, the treatment of obesity in children and adolescents, being split onto two parts due to the large volume of literature in this area. This year’s in depth topics are thus:
1. The Determinants and Consequences of Overweight and Obesity
2. The Treatment of Obesity in Children and Adolescents Children of Parents with Mental Illness and Alcohol and Other Addictions (COPMIA)
This report is based on an Indicator Framework developed by the NZ Child and Youth Epidemiology Service, with all of the indicators in the Chronic Conditions and Disabilities stream being updated in this year’s edition. These indicators have been grouped into four sections, as outlined below, with an in-depth topic on the children of parents with mental health issues and alcohol and other addictions (COPMIA) forming the fifth and final section.
Section 1: Conditions Arising in the Perinatal Period
Section 2: Other Disabilities
Section 3: Chronic Medical Conditions
Section 4: Obesity, Nutrition and Physical Activity
Section 5: Children of Parents with Mental Illness and Alcohol and Other Addictions (COPMIA)
