This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for long-term health problem or disability situation for all people by sex by age (in 20 categories) in Scotland. ##Age A person's age on Census Day, 20 March 2022. Infants aged under 1 year are classified as 0 years of age. ##Sex This is the sex recorded by the person completing the census. The options were "Female" and "Male". Guidance on answering the question can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/documents/scotland-s-census-2022-sex-question-guidance/html/) ## Long-term health problem or disability A long-term health problem or disability is one that limits a person’s day-to-day activity, and has lasted, or is expected to last, at least 12 months. This includes problems that are related to old age. Respondents were asked to assess whether their daily activities were limited a lot or a little by such a health problem, or whether their daily activities were not limited at all. Long-term illness is a strong predictor for higher use of health service resources. This information is used by central government for resource allocation and by local government for service provision. It enables public bodies to meet statutory requirements and to develop and monitor policies to allocate health funding and services at a national and local level. Details of classification can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/metadata/long-term-health-problem-or-disability/#panel-1) _The quality assurance report can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/2022-results/scotlands-census-2022-quality-assurance-reports/quality-assurance-report-health-disability-and-unpaid-care/)_
