* Over three-quarters (75.8%) of people aged 18 years and over considered their general health to be ‘good or very good’ in 2024.
* Approximately half (50.8%) of those aged 18 to 24 years of age considered their mental health to be ‘good or very good’.
* Approximately 18.7% of people aged 18 years and over had been diagnosed with a specific neurodiverse condition, or suspected they were neurodiverse.
* Those aged 75 years and over, at 92.0%, were almost three times more likely to have used prescription medicines in the two weeks prior to the interview compared to those aged 18 to 24 years of age, at 30.7%.
* Almost a quarter (23.6%) of those aged 18 to 34 years of age vaped daily or occasionally.
* Almost one in five (18.2%) people aged 18 years and over provided care or assistance to one or more people suffering from some age-related problem, chronic health condition, or infirmity, at least once a week.
There was a legal loophole where you sold vapes to children for three or four years- it was legal to sell to anyone. half of my kids fifth year class were vaping. What did you expect to happen?

It’s mad that the drank alcohol weekly at least weekly stat is more than double for 55-64 years compared to 18-24 year olds.
I wonder if down the line there will be a noticeable improvement in health among future generations that can be traced to the decrease in alcohol consumption.
