Population
The population of North Wales is generally older than the Welsh average, with a larger proportion of people in the 65 and over, and 85 and over age groups. The overall health status of the population compares favourably to other parts of Wales. However, there is significant variation across North Wales, and the region includes some of the most deprived areas in the country.
