Snapshot of Victorians' health

Australians don’t eat enough fruit and vegetables, and more and more are becoming obese or developing diabetes, according to the latest Victorian Population Health Survey just released. Victorians have improved their smoking habits, have kept steady on abusing alcohol and maintained a reasonable level of physical fitness, the Minister for Health, Mr David Davis, said. He said most of Victorians think they are on top of their personal health, with more than eight-in -10 reporting their health as excellent, very good or good. Mr Davis said the snapshot, based on a detailed survey of around 7500 adults, showed there were areas where we could all do better.
