Informal care (moderate to heavy amount of informal care)

There are two maps for each of the following sections – pain in different parts of the body, factors that impact on MSK problems, other health conditions, physical activity and informal care. The colour maps present the amount of each health issue in each area. The second map, in grey, presents the amount in comparison to the other areas and in this we can highlight which areas have lower and higher levels.
