3 Health in South Africa Overview of causes of death & health issues in South Africa

4 Causes of Death by Province Diabetes is in top 10 causes for death in Gauteng & KZN Leading Causes of Premature Death by Province by % HIV/AIDS South Africa Western Cape North West Northern Cape Mpumalanga Limpopo KwaZulu Natal Gauteng Free State Eastern Cape 39 4,2 4,7 6,8 3,9 3,7 2,8 1,51,72,5 Diarrhoeal Diseases Tuberculosis Homicide/Violence Lower Respiratory Infec on Road Traffic Stroke Protein-energy malnutri on Low Birth Weight COPD Ischaemic Heart Disease Suicide Diabetes Mellitus Hypertensive Heart Disease COPD: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Ischaemic Heart Disease: Constricted blood vessels which causes strokes & heart attacks Trachea/bronchi/lung Source: WHO

5 Health Issues Adult Risk Factors HIV & Respiratory diseases are the main causes of premature death, followed by heart & stroke Communicable diseases such as Diabetes & Hypertension are becoming more of a health risk Diabetes is in the top 10 causes of death in Gauteng & KwaZulu Natal Diseases as a result of poor lifestyle are becoming more prevalent in SA There are more obese people in SA than there are smokers! Health risk factors for South African Adults Obesity & High Blood Pressure are the most prevalent adult risk factors Source: WHO

6 Non-communicable Diseases Diabetes, Hypertension & Cancer

7 Diabetes in South Africa The diabetes tsunami is here. And we in South Africa are in trouble." Dr Larry Distiller, founder and managing director of the Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology "Three-and-a-half million South Africans (about 6% of the population) suffer from diabetes and there are many more who are undiagnosed," he cautions. It is estimated that another five million South Africans have prediabetes, a condition where insulin resistance causes blood glucose levels to be higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be type 2 diabetes. Approximately 85-90% of all people with diabetes are type 2, and many people who have this condition are undiagnosed. Type 1 diabetics are 0,7% of the population (approximately ). Most type 1 diabetics are diagnosed before the age of 40, with the peak age of incidence being 14.

8 Diabetes by Demographic Profiles 4,7% of those in the General Household Survey had been told they had diabetes Diabetes is more prevalent in older age groups (55+) and in Females Indian & Coloured groups are more genetically predisposed to develop diabetes Percentage ,7 6,1 4,7 5,2 4,1 1,9 0,5 South Africa Female Male Source: General Household Survey, 2011

9 Diabetes by Province Top provinces for Diabetes are Western Cape & KwaZulu Natal Gauteng % is lower than the national average Source: General Household Survey, 2011

10 Hypertension in South Africa Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is known as the silent killer in South Africa and is a leading cause for heart attacks & strokes It is estimated 25% of the population over 25 have hypertension/high blood pressure. Hypertension is common is South Africa and is a risk factor for heart attacks, stroke, left ventricular hypertrophy, renal disease & blindness People who have hypertension are usually unaware that they have the condition, unless the BP has been measured at health-care facilities. It is therefore frequently referred to as a silent epidemic in South Africa. Hypertension frequently co-exists with other risk factors for chronic diseases of lifestyle (CDL), such as diabetes and obesity

11 Hypertension by Demographic Profiles 14% of those in the General Household Survey had been told they had hypertension Hypertension risk increases significantly with age Hypertension is more prevalent in females Hypertension affects the white & coloured population groups Source: General Household Survey, 2011

12 Hypertension by Province Top provinces for Hypertension are Eastern Cape, Northern Cape & North West Source: General Household Survey, 2011

13 Cancer in South Africa Cancer diagnoses in SA are expected to double by 2030 One in six South African men and one in seven South African women will get cancer during their lives. If figures released by the International Agency for Research in Cancer (IARC), published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, are anything to go by, it is essential that SA increases its spend on cancer prevention, treatment and awareness. According to the IARC, approximately new cancer cases and cancer deaths were reported in Africa in These numbers are projected to nearly double to 1.28 million new cancer cases and cancer deaths by 2030, due to ageing and growth in the population.

14 Cancer by Demographic Profiles O.5% of those in the General Household Survey had been told they had Cancer & there were no further figures to report 2004 Cancer Registry shows that 51% of all Cancer patients are Female, with 49% Male Cancer patients are mostly white, although Black females also make up a large proportion Source: National Cancer Registry

15 Cancer Types by Gender Most prevalent type of Cancer in men is prostrate & lung Most prevalent type of cancer in women is breast & cervical Colon cancers are more likely to occur in people with sedentary lifestyles, obese people, and those who smoke tobacco. Cancer and the South African man The cancers affec ng all South African men, in order of prevalence, are: Prostate cancer Lung cancer Oesophageal cancer Bladder cancer Colo-rectal cancer Cancer and the South African woman The cancers affec ng all South African women, in order of prevalence, are: Breast cancer Cervical cancer Colo-rectal cancer Lung cancer Oesophageal cancer Source: National Cancer Registry

16 Communicable Diseases HIV/AIDS & Tuberculosis

17 HIV/AIDS in South Africa The estimated overall HIV prevalence rate is approximately 10%. The infection rate amongst adults in 18,1% (UNAIDS Report, 2011). The total number of people living with HIV is estimated at approximately 5,26 million in South Africa has more people living with HIV/AIDS than any other country in the world

18 HIV/AIDS by Demographic Profiles 1,7% of those in the General Household Survey said that they had HIV/AIDS HIV/AIDS is more prevalent in women & age groups HIV/AIDS mostly affects the black population Source: General Household Survey, 2011

20 Tuberculosis in South Africa South Africa is ranked third in the world for the highest TB infection rate, and more than half of all TB Patients are HIV positive WHO health profile of South Africa 768 per of population has TB (compared to 170 worldwide) South Africa is faced with a dual HIV-TB epidemic where the high rate of HIV infection is fuelling the tuberculosis or TB epidemic In addition to this, increasing numbers of people are becoming infected with drug-resistant TB strains, says Dr Bavesh Kana Head of the Wits University node of the DST/DRF Centre of Excellence for Biomedical TB Research Source: WHO & Health24.com

22 TB by Province KZN has significantly higher infection rate than other provinces Source: General Household Survey, 2011

23 Obesity & Weight Loss Obesity & BMI figures in South Africa Perceptions of Weight Loss amongst South Africans

24 Obesity in South Africa Almost half of South Africans over the age of 15 are overweight or obese The most recent statistics from the SA Medical Research Council showed that 70% of adult women over the age of 35 were overweight or obese and that black women were exposed to the greatest risk, with 33% being obese. These figures are frightening because they are predictors of the burden of lifestyle diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, strokes, certain types of cancer and heart disease that our country will have to cope with in years to come.
