Aim: Little is known about the extent to which families in Aotearoa New Zealand are affected by long-term health conditions (HCs). This study aimed to explore the rates of nine selected HCs among New Zealand family members within the same household. Method: Linked population and administrative health data were obtained for families living in the same household according to the 2013 New Zealand Census (N=1,043,172). Health data (2008–2013) were used to ascertain whether people in these families (N=3,137,517) received treatment or services for nine selected HCs: cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease, diabetes, dementia, gout, stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or mental health/behaviour conditions (MHBCs). Results: Over 60% of families included at least one person with a HC, and this rate was higher among multi-generation families (73.9%). The most common HCs were MHBCs (39.4% of families), diabetes (16.0%) and TBI (13.9%). At the highest level of socio-economic deprivation, 57.6% of children aged under 18 years lived with a family member who had a HC. Conclusion: Three in five New Zealand household families included someone with at least one of nine selected HCs, with differences in the proportion affected according to family composition, socio-economic status and an individual’s ethnicity. This suggests that there are a substantial number of people at risk of the poor outcomes associated with the experience of HCs within their family. |
